Spoken by a more rigorous pedant than either Tim or I could ever
aspire to be.

What can one do if one's humor is taken seriously?

Loose the laaugh, I guess

It wasn't. I just felt that I was obvious enough that I didn't
need to include:

Obwinkie: ;-> for the chain-pull challenged.

I laaughed. Enough that I almost loosened my [portion of
digestive system deleted for those with sensitive souls] beyond
recovery.

Where does the data go when it gets loose? Does it run away? Ir you
don't want that to happen, you ought to tie it tighter.

I Posted the original thread unknowingly without a name. I wanted to
thank you all for your comments. The problem I defined is not critical,
but it's been bothering me for a long time.

The suggestions were all good but there are still some formatted email
that I can't pass on to others formatted the same. I'll work on this
with comments later.

Thanks,
Barry

That was probably verbose enough, even for a
pendant personality!

"setting free" formated <sic> data)

Do I get credit for original thinking? (Damn spell
checker. I'm gonna hang it from an oak tree!)
