Hi Gregg. As you know, I was the forum member who stated that Fran is "all over this forum like white on rice" in the context of what I perceived to be a disparity in the advertising rate structure for vendors. I think the phrase was descriptive of Fran's activity level on the forum. I meant no harm, and I trust none was taken by Fran. Had I intended to mount an attack or make the comment truly backhanded then I would have used a similar, but more vulgar turn of phrase.
