I’m sorry. I didn’t see the second part of the thread. I’m sensitive about this kind of thing, having had to put up with a certain amount of shit on the boards and in real life over it, so I tend to be quick on the gun. In this case, too quick. I apologize for reacting wrongly and I thank **Yumanite** for the very complimentary things you said about me. ---

I meant the second part of the sentence, not the thread. :smack: ---

Now, why can’t everyone kiss and make up like these two? ---

I want kiss too. Do I need to be pitted first? Because it seems to be a trend. I have never seen so much love anywhere else as in Pit. 😃 But it was a beautiful thread. ---

**matt** , you remain one of the classiest and one of my favorite “family” posters on these boards. And **Yumanite** , that was also a very classy and low-key Pitting. ---

Oh for Christ’s sake, stop it or I’ll have to go kick a puppy or something. My daily dose of warm fuzzies is quite adequately fulfilled by **Potter** ; I don’t need any more. :mad:😉 ---

Er - you’ll have the honor of replacing Richard Dawkins, one of my People Whose Feet I’d Love to Worship At, if that influences you any. 😉 ---

I thought _Family Feud_ just went downhill after Louis Anderson became the host. ---
