Actually, that's not really true -- Dave knew my intention because he spends
a large portion of his time near, close to, or in my cube at work.  The
reverse is also true.  Dave's cube is about 15, maybe 20 feet from mine.

Dave and I do not work for DTS -- we work for Apple IIGS System Software... DTS
(Matt Deatherage works for Developer Technical Support) is in one of the City
Center buildings.  Dave is a Toolbox Engineer, while I work on the Finder. Matt
answers developer questions, writes sample code, and deals with a whole bunch
of other things that I can't quite remember right now... ;-)

>It wasn't tainted with sarcasm (like Andy's)

Huh?  I thought you said I was being arrogant?  Well, in either case, my
message wasn't meant to be sarcastic either -- if I had wanted my original
message to be sarcastic, why would I bother to spend so much time trying to
tell folks what I intended?  (Which, to be sure, is an indication that I
should brush up on my network and communication skills, gak -- hmmm... maybe
I need more smileys in my messages?).
