As for my posting after Randy's call for restraint, please refer to that thread for the time stamps of our respective posts. As you will no doubt see, his and mine differ by 1 minute and I was unaware of his post until mine was finished. After I read his, I made a revision to comport with his request to me, that is all. I did not continue the manner nor form of my posting with respect to JonNYC after receiving his directive.

A joke:
A guy (no matter from which religion or origin) walks into a bank to deposit a check. When the clerk asks him to sign in the back he refuses, saying that it is a check from his father and out of respect to the old man, he will never sign on the back. A supervisor comes and explains that without a signature he would not be able to deposit. The guy still refuses.
The manager takes him to his office, closes the door and all shades and beats the hell out of him. All the people in the bank hear the noises of the guy getting smashed against the walls. Then, with a black eye, the guy walks out of the manager's office, signs the check in the back and deposits it.
The clerk asks him - why did you have to go through all this when we simply asked you to this from the beginning?
The guy answered - you only asked, the manager explained!
