Golly. We both use the same online dictionary. Are you a paying  
member or a casual user.

I was being disingenuous about disingenuous (my stupid idea of a  
joke). I was pretending to know less about the meaning of the word  
than I actually did (having just looked it up on the same dictionary  
used to refute me). I kinda figured you might look it up and attempt  
to embarrass me in public. Well, touche. Now I am going to go sulk on  
some other email list. Maybe I will try it on the UUBF-L. They  will  
go for almost anything.
