I will be more than happy to apologize TO your wife when she posts a
message to the net herself. I would never dream of apologizing to you
and I don't (not even for a minute!) believe that anything YOU say
necessarily has anything to do with what your wife would say. You have
difficulty understanding anything I have to say, and you're free to
re-read it as many times as you want. Why should I trust you to
interpret your wife, particularly since I have never met her.

Maybe you should apologize to my mother, Gary. After all, you insinuate
that she's a bad mother because she got a PhD in biochemistry while I
was a young child (after all, isn't a BA and some summer school good
enough for a woman?)

Go soak your head, Gary.
