No. I won't comment. No, I won't fight. No, I won't defend.

I was trying to show a spark of originality and it was smitten. Just like
every other f'n idea I've posted. Fine. You win. No more from me.

Tyger, don't take my comments so hard. You asked for comments and that's what
I gave you. I had no intention of insulting you or flaming your idea. I just
felt it went over the line. Other ideas and things you have posted when over
just fine. This one IMHO didn't.

Somebody better tell Neil Simon that Michaelangelo was hired to paint the
ceiling on purpose :)
