NO, no, no... I didn't misunderstand you - you misunderstood ME. I meant to convey that I completely agree with you. We all have made friends here - real friends.
At one time, HP called us her "pretend friends". I replied to her with a snide "pretend friends, huh?". Then you just said that you felt that you had made friends here. I just meant to jump on the bandwagon. Maybe I should have been more expansive and said something like:
I agree completely, GEL. We have all made friends here. That's why I bad-mouthed HP when she called us "pretend friends". I consider all of you to be friends and hope that you feel the same about me.
