Well, maybe *I* was the one who reacted. I am a little angry about it. There is, in my opinion, NOTHING more maddening than someone putting words into my mouth.

Heh -- all this time I've been pontificating about how 'untriggerable' I am, and I just realized that 'putting words into my mouth' is a sort of trigger for me. My dad, who is one hell of a martyr, does that to me all the time and it is a big red unprotected button that I give him access to push, for some reason.

Anyway, back to you. And really to GG, since I wasn't really annoyed at you in the first place, but she kind of exasperated it (although I think she and I are cool now -- right? I hope? GG?).

I'm not sure what kind of tension or anger in my post you feel is directed at YOU, because there was none. Yes, there was some anger in it (and why wouldn't there be?) but it was in reaction to someone else, not to you.

Sorry if I hurt any feelings here.
