Maybe he's speaking Canadananadian? As we know, Canadananians are closet Francophiles. So, I babel-fished his quote into French and then back into English. Here is the result: "it is exact, bitch, strike an upholder of my play preferred more once." In short, the only thing that seems clear is that Major apparently called me a bitch. The rest is a crap-shoot. I don't believe I have ever been referred to as "bitch" before, and I don't wish to break etiquette. Anyway, I am now formulating a measured response. At first I was partial to being "incensed," but now I may be leaning towards "righteous indignation." Anyway, suggestions are most welcome. Bret
