I assure you it's not to insult you. I just think it's a right some 
strange name. I've never heard the name before. Say Digdon did ...
now you gotta admit it's like one of those tongue twisters. I don't agree
that I have a feeble mind; if I did, then I wouldn't be able to make the
posts I do or do all the other things I've done and do. But I would agree
that I likely cannot come up with the myriad of ways your name has been
misspelled, manipulated or made fun of. And I doubt that it's been
misspelled, manipulated or made fun of as often and creatively as mine has
been in here.

So how did you win, Digdon? I did *not* respond to the email. I ignored
it and forgot about it until I saw Robert Speirs' post. If not for
Robert's post I wouldn't have responded in ns.general. Bill McMullin's 
email would have gone where ever the rest of the D stuff goes. Poof!

So what are you saying Digdon? That Robert Speirs is part of the "we all"
who made bets? Are you saying that Robert Speirs set me up?? Is that what
you mean? Do you mean that Robert deliberately made the InfoInterActive
post so that I'd see it and bets were on IRT how I'd respond? Have I got
that right? Are you out there Robert Speirs? Did you set me up Robert?

That must be it. I received the email on Nov.16 and ignored it so you
fellas I guess thought I wasn't gonna reply so you got Robert to make
an InfoInterActive post on Dec. 1st hoping I'd see it and respond and
there'd be a winner? Digdon you're a real winner. You won the bet;
InfoInterActive lost some business -- mine/family/friends/their friends.

So that's what "funny" about all of this? Funny... that reminds me ...
there was "funnystuff" in the header of Bill McMullin's email to me....

What's the mtt stand for? Maritime Tel & Tel? What's the "funnystuff"?
Up to no goodstuff? The President and CEO of InfoInterActive sending
a woman smart-ass email while "we all", meaning him too I guess, make
bets on how she'll respond. Guess it was a slow day at work ;-)
