**newcrasher** , that was at least an inconsiderate remark made about your story in MPSIMS. Glurge is not generally considered a good thing. In this case, perhaps because the person had only seen at that point the first half of your story, the presumption may have been that you were passing on an apocryphal story as your own. Obviously not the case. It was a toss away remark, don’t sweat it.
