I humbly beg your pardon, Mr. Petonic. I was under the impression that
the purpose of communication was to convey information. I will have
post some misinformation so that I can win your approval.

You should go back and read my article on license plates. What I said
was that Jane was wrong and my source was the California Department of
Motor Vehicles. If I had wanted to attack her then, I would have
started out with the immortal line from SNL (Jane, you ******** ****). 

I attacked her after she made some catty comments about me. My
preference would have been to drop the matter since I thought I made
my point the first time.
