Not really. You wrote something without thinking it through, as
everyone does from time to time, but decided to play word games when you
were rightfully challenged.

Had I compared you to the Humpty Dumpty in Alice in Wonderland ("When I
use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone," it means
just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."), you might
have cause for complaint. By comparing you to Herb, I was actually
comparing you to good company. It was hardly an insult, in any case.

FWIW, wasn't there an FAQ entry somewhere that advised sci.space
participants that if Henry disagrees with them there's a far better than
average chance that he isn't the one who is wrong? That would certainly
seem to be the case here.

Next topic, please.
