BigA,
That was a joke my friend.

I know - and my reply was pure sarcasm in response to that. It's just all these email/ newsgroup , old fashioned ways of communicating where you seem to loose all sense of context, emotion and intent.

I had a great idea for an innovation, we could set up a place in town, call it a coffee shop and people could actually meet each other and talk face to face, in person, wouldn't that be progress. Then I had this other idea... if you got 2 empty soup cans and joined them together with a long piece of string maybe you could use your voice and talk to the person at the other end of the piece of string

We have made great advances in the last 100 years ???
