Maybe fun for you but not for the poor lady who made the originial
observation that she was just sharing for the list. Some of you guys
remind me of a bunch of school children making fun of the one kid who
was proud of his new shoes, but because the shoes were different, you made
that child the subject of all of your jokes.

I have always hated it when kids do that.
Best regards,
