I did, but don't think name calling was called for.

My apologies to anyone who experienced the problem, my intent was for the
news to be read, not the spam bomb. As for the name calling, it is ok with
me. I give Joe his share and he gives me my share. I harbor no ill will
toward Joe and would be the first to buy him a round. I'm sure he feels the
same toward me. It is only fair to cut Joe some slack since he spent his
entire Naval career aboard a floating ocean liner painted grey. It had a gun
in front in which the breech was rusted shut (it might have even been a
front loader!). Wouldn't anyone be a bit goofy spending 4 years shuttling
crates of lettuce between ships? It's too bad Joe missed out on some real
military action and I feel sorry for him. At least my bunk was within 30
feet of atomic weapons, we actually shot the big gun and went toe toe with
the Ruskies. Through purity of essence we did prevail.
