Default instruction/example reply

Jon... I would have approached this reply in a different manner. Direct
insults often fall short of target or can be parried since they are
telegraphed by posting style. Feign and redirection are often a better
tactic. In reply to the turkey comment for instance... you immediately
referred to Bob. This displayed a lack of subtlety. You could have inquired
if as the Carver... the selection of the tenderest Butterball could be left
to you. Think of the fowl jabs that could have generated. Most people are
under the impression that turkeys are so dumb as to drown themselves looking
up at a thunder storm with their beaks open. Turkeys gobble and strut!
Stuffing recipes alone could have generated replies.....

Remember to think well ahead.....

I again wish to thank Bob for his patience in this matter.
