I know I am guilty of this. I think of a million subtle little
points that I <br>
want to work into my response. I try to cram them all in there, and

And I am guilty of the opposite. I produce typographical errors,
fragmented sentences, and missing verbs and pronouns. Often when I
reread what I have written I am shocked in horror. But I assume
that you all know me and realize that I would not post if I didn't have
something of some value to say while at the same time, handling a dozen
other things. Fortunately (or rather unfortunately) I have no
grandchildren on my lap, but my animals and my rose garden nag me while I
am working. No excuses or regrets, just plan 'ole facts.<br><br>
