I appreciate your concern... thank you. Fortunately, although my wife and I often discuss the future of the press-printing industry, AND the fact that I am doing some of my best work for the medium that may someday shut it down, the fact is that it is not a sore subject around my house... just ironic as hell!
Anyway, no worries, I am not sensitive about it, and I
was making light of the jest at my expense. For the record, "'Taint funny McGee!" is a reference to an old radio sitcom,
Fibber McGee and Molly, and I'd hoped that everyone would catch that and realize that I was making fun of myself. Of course, the fact that that radio show probably hasn't been heard by more than 50 people in the past 50 years probably dulled the impact. (Probably should have used a line from
M*A*S*H or
Desperate Housewives...)
See what happens when you get old? The common sub-references just break down on ya...
