The discussion is over, and I sent the Limericks as a kind of cap on
it.  I thought the humorous Limerick form would indicate that they
were in the spirit of a "roast" and not an attack, and I added a
winking smiley at the end to re-inforce that -- but that's not how you
took it.  <sigh>

You do have a lot to offer here, if you would just lighten up and
appreciate that others' knowledge and experience have value too.

I will leave it to others to decide if I offered "nothing of
substance."
