Don --

Please understand that I was only mildly annoyed at you. The point of
of my complaint was directed at a long series of such "invocations" over
time. I appreciate that you (and others in the past) think I know
everything, but it isn't true! It's embarrassing to be called upon to
answer all questions when in fact my knowledge is limited like anyone
else's.

You trust and respect my postings precisely because I only try to
comment on things about which I have something useful to say. If I
don't know anything about a topic, I leave it alone.
