So is it that you *exactly* expect when I enter a thread Chuck?

And how did I become the focus of conversation between you and John?

***************

I expect you to behave as you always have. You are very consistent and
predictable. (note: I did not say that has to be a bad thing) If you
have some idea of just what you normally do here, then you are well
aware of what certainly I, and probably most others, expect when you
enter a thread.

You became part of the conversation when John brought up your name. It
wouldn't have occured to me to include you, by name, in the
conversation without John's specific reference.
