I don't grasp your question, Enophile. Are you doubting Mr.
Salvatore's endorsement of my honesty? You appear to have a bit
of a chip on your shoulder :-)
>I expected better.
Better than what? Being honest?John Atkinson

No chip!I was just joking about the having never done anything illegal part.
More like razzing somebody in a bar...
Eno: "Nothing? Ever?"
JA: "Well, there was this one time in Deadwood when the contortionist convention passed through town; but she swore she was 18 and that it was just an herbal cigarette!"
It was more a play on "nothing" than an indictment of your professional endeavors.
"He's never done anything illegal, as far as I know," is just about the funniest non-endorsement I can think of. I didn't mean to impune your integrity, so I'll add a similar endorsement: "As far as I can tell, JA has never screwed my dog."
That guy's "endorsement" of your integrity struck me as funny. Apologies if I sounded like I was expressing negative feelings toward you.

_______________________"I expected better" was implying that I would have wanted to keep an image of you as having at least some roguish characteristics rather than think you had "never done anything illegal."
Now, if you really want trouble, I'd be happy to fake a fake Texas accent, pat you on the back, and say, "You're doing a great job, Brownie/Johnny," then have Karl Rove stab you in the liver.

Ah, forgive my prickles. I get too used to Asylum inmates shooting from
the hip.> Apologies if I sounded like I was expressing negative feelings toward

No problem. It's alittle early here in NY to be bending my elbow, but
I do have a 6-pack of Bass in the fridge for tonight. I'll take a sip
to you at that time -- although I then run the risk that the loonies
on this forum will accuse me of posting drunk, of course :-)
