Bill,
I hadn't read this post when I posted my response.
No offense taken here either.
I think it was just a little misunderstanding. It is hard to get humor
across some times.

A highly respected friend of mine is convinced that Google goofs up group
threading. That might be the problem here. It could also be a
conincidence. Finally Mike could just be being a good guy, etc.

Anyway, something about this didn't smell right to me: why did "Mike" (the
OP, right?) reply to my olive branch to "Steve", if that's what happened?
See search results below. My newsreader also sees it that way. The early
apparent missed (by me) joke was Steve's. I was also suspicious that both
of them had at times referred to subtle humor. If Mike were serious about
this, he shouldn't be joking about it. I could understand Steve joking,
but the OP joking around didn't make sense. Mike's use of "no offense" was
the kicker, and I did a quick search.

Suppose that one were trolling and stirring the broth signing as multiple
posters. It would be wise to keep the identities and perspectives in
order. Apologies if the posters are distinct and sincere, but I leave it
to the group to consider whether we indeed have a troll (Mike=Steve) in
our midst on this one.

Maybe if people would use quotes then the messages could be followed.
