Hi Count,

There was no disrespect meant or implied in my comment about the pictures
Martin posted. When confronted with an image that has no accompanying
contextual message or association, the human mind tries to figure
things-out as best it can. I believe it was "Carnac the Magnificent" who
responded to the answer of the question, A: Chariots of the Gods, with
the question: What were the only things allowed to move on Sunday in
Ancient Persia?

It appears you guys take yourselves extremely seriously.

I can't help but wonder what the late, Great Jonny Carson might have
thought about your apparent lack of humor.
