Boy, I sure wish I could help you, br d, but I can't make any sense of 
it either.  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
