Not headed home, heading for the hospital ...

No kidding. Fell off my bike last night in a road construction area. Need to have my hand xrayed.

As for ad hominem content, Webster's online dictionary defines 'ad hominem' as follows:

Etymology: New Latin, literally, to the person
1 : appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect
2 : marked by an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made

When Mr. Mark's says "your problem is ...", it implies unambigiously that I have a problem. The issue has become me, rather than "an answer to the contentions made".

I do not believe Mr. Marks intended to make a personal remark, it just slipped. About like my "megabuck gear" comment. Both comments were inapproprate. I've made my amends. No big deal. Please forget about it.
