I knew it wasn't "directed" at me..but I figured I would respond
anyway since I could tell it was a joke.
I think if everyone was standing around face to face in a group
and someone said " anyone know what to do about cat urine
on carpet", and you said " Try vodka, completely takes away the
smell" , and someone else said " are you sure, maybe after the
vodka (implying you drank it rather than poured it on the carpet)
you just don't care about the smell (implying you were tipsy)"
you would laugh.  It's this forum that makes it hard to tell intent.
I try and assume the best unless the intent is absolutely clear.  Could
be I just have a big ego that makes me assume everyone loves.  :-)

At the end of the post, following the word "rug."
BTW, you are either new to usenet, or have very thin skin and no sense of
humor, or all three. FYI, since all we are to each other is words on a screen,
with no facial expressions or tone of voice to accompany words, a smiley face,
[  :-)  ]  will usually accompany a joke, or remark made in jest. . I would
suggest that you note this before going off half-cocked and verbally attacking
someone else for making a tongue-in-cheek remark that was clearly indicated as
such by an emoticon as you did me.
