Thanks for sending the URL anyway. It's nice to see one of our

That's good advice. Dan and I both enjoy a good bluster, and we both
have the strange habit of parodying the styles of the people we used to

Irony tends to go unrecognized in e-mail messages for some reason, by
almost everyone but Peavler.
