>>>I am not wee -- although I'm working on it with a new home gym! -- nor do I resemble a terrier. (More like a slightly overweight beagle). But I do want to apologize to you, Jos, Jean L., Walter (grudgingly in Walter's case), and Dragan for the combativeness of my remarks the other day. I do not appreciate reflexive anti-Americanism or what comes across as a sense of European superiority, and for those feelings I do not apologize. But I do apologize for my tone. A very wise woman told me a long time ago that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. I will try to abide by that, even if it means I occasionally have to perform the unfamiliar act of biting my tongue. In general I will try to keep a humorous and curious attitude, which IMO is the only real reason to be here. Peace.

Too bad you and I aren't retiring the same year. We could make entertaining the UT public a fulltime job. Unfortunately, there's still code to be written.
