The topic is one of a dozen or so that are listed in Archives under the first edition (1984) of Straight Dope.

When you start a thread, it’s helpful to other readers to provide a link to the column that you’re commenting on. Helps keep us all on the same page.

No biggie, you’ll know for next time, and welcome!
