Man, I told ya I was having an off day. I read your name SEVERAL times. I even typed in abominable (correctly I might add) in my response to you. Too many hours & too little sleep, combined with too many X-mas cartoon commercials…

I would use that embarrassed smiley guy, but someone said (in another thread) that it looked like a “blow-job smiley” and I’m pretty sure that’s not the message I want to send.

Mistake noted. Unfortunately, you are now marked for life: I will not forget this insult!

Although, in light of the fact that you opted not to use the blow-job smiley, I’m sure we can work something out.
