Congrats to you too, Karen. Really. :-)

It must be a contagious disease. Is Rush Limbaugh sending mind-altering
frequencies to all his listeners or something? First JimH interprets
something I explicitedly said about myself as a "personal attack", then
Bert said I am a "piece of dirt" for congratulating Karen on posting
without her typical jab at me and multi-paragraph broadside featuring
"The Krause lie of the day." Now you're chiming in with another
accusation of "personal attack"? What's up with that?

I made a "favorable" comment, complimenting Karen for posting without
her usual schtick attached.

That's a personal attack? I guess it must be, according to some
standards. The protest about personal attacks is run out on a moment's
notice, or shelved completely it seems, depending upon who is saying
what about whom.

Ah, the old "who me?" routine.

Chuck,

It is nice to see you are not being an asshole, keep up the good work.

Now that is a nice favorable comment, no one would ever think that was a
personal attack.

So seldom is anything good or complimentary said to those characters
(for good reason) that they don't know how to handle a compliment.

I hadn't read the other responses. I have no idea what Limbaugh said on the
subject. (Is there an implication there?) From your perspective, I may have
'chimed in', but from mine, I simply made a comment to your post.

To me, your comment was an attack. It was subtle, but it sure wasn't called for
in a thread congratulating me for the birth of my grandson.

I responded the way I did because I was genuinely surprised at your comment,
given how you've managed to do so well for so long.

major league baseball game was played outside the United States, in Montreal,
income taxes are due, and, of course, I was born.

But, she couldn't wait. He's a cute little guy, and his hands are almost big
enough to hold a fishin' rod already! (Boatin' related, doncha know!)


Congrats John, enjoy.

Thanks, Karen. I will!
