Lou, that was a friendly bit of kidding - not meant to be taken seriously by anyone (and I thought you would know that). You and Bubba both have excellent reputations on the net and I'm sure elsewhere. You needn't be defensive about anything. I'm certain Parker was just having some fun and meant no offense at all!
Besides, I think jksoper1 has ran off with the gypsies!

(just to be clear, I'm kidding him now).
Lighten up man, no one is attacking you or your reputation. Some of us just try to find humor where we can, even if we have to invent it. :rotfl:
jksoper1, Lou (ourway7, 77) is an excellent guy to trade with - no worries. I've never read anything but positive feedback from anyone that has dealt with the man. A recent example:

Even if he is a wacky old fart.
Besides all that, most everyone on the internet knows ah'm nUtZ. :hysterical:
