Actually I was just rambling. Something about the thread reminded me of that situation back there. I'll admit that there was a bitter tone to my post but it was mainly from remembering how absurdly silly the Hatrack guy's posts actually were. I didn't mean anything towards you by it, and if I've given offense I sincerely apologize.
