Marshall- I had told Leon I was no longer going to respond to you, but the nature of this post dictates I do otherwise.

People who know me know that I have a pretty good sense of humor and that I have no trouble being the butt of a good joke. But what you see as needling I see as poor manners. No matter how funny, politically incorrect, or irreverent you think you might be there is still a need to be respectful and courteous. In that arena your batting average is near zero. If you think calling me Barry Goat is funny may I suggest that stand up comedy is not a good field for you to pursue.

Nevertheless I appreciate your comments and I agree with can all live peacefully on this board. Carry on.
