I didn't see any smiley face after Chips post.  Did I miss it or was this a
serious response to John's obvious attempt to bring a little levity to a
bad situation?

Chip, come on.  Although your post has many valid points, the timing is off
and I think the target is way off.  John did nothing more than inject a
little humor into a tense situation.  The Cryjest has been getting a bit
too flame infested over the last few weeks and he was simply poking fun at
all of us.

If your post was also an attempt at humor I apologize for this post.

Everyone have a wonderful day.  Be patient with your fellow human beings.
