["Laurie Solomon" <Laurie@advancenet.net>]

I would not have responded to your post in the way I did or even replied to

citing and quoting a passage from my post.  This led me to believe that you
were responding to my post and not the original message.  I have no basic
objection to either your suggestion or your proposal.
