You are right, you said no such thing.  It was Gunter, I believe--he's the
one I remember.  I think that some of his post had appeared on your message
and must have seemed to come from you.  I apologise to all.

I don't doubt that Ingle says dumb things now and again; but he sure did not
say that one!  (Now Gunter will yell at me!)

Sorry,
Charlie
