Hi Peter,

I was going to send Annie a similar message but then realized that she almost
certainly had tongue firmly planted in cheek when she sent hers. I think she
knew exactly what the pharase meant and was giving a wry (and accurate)
commentary on its appropriateness to the list. The sad thing is, if history is
any indicator, this will merely prompt further self-righteous "injured party"
responses from Roger and counter responses from Tony ad nauseum. But I totally
agree with your evaluation.

Best regards,
Jack
