Anne, as others have pointed out, I was joking about being surgically shortened. It's such an absurdity that I thought the joke was apparent. You apparently knew this too, because you gave it a "lol" in your reply.
I truly don't know how many times in the past I've "harped" at you about height. Perhaps you'll enlighten us with a count and examples of my offenses. If I have been disrespectful I apologize, but I don't recall being so. Having a contrary position in a discussion is not disrespect.
