I tend to be a little sardonic so I even manage to offend people in person.  I probably should have known better than to send that post but it's so easy to click without thinking too much about it (the electronic version of not  engaging brain before opening mouth).

Perhaps your post just caught me at a bad moment.........let's see....... yesterday..........Hmmmmm.......two Baldwin Acrosonics, a K&C spinet, soda spilled in the car, hamster got loose - kid's crying, wife smashed her leg, grandpa's belly-aching about bad bowels, dog barfed in the living room.............. yeah, maybe it was just a combination of things.
