Only 3 years?  Whatever the number, that episode was slightly before I
drifted onto this list, so I have no memory of it.  I gather that this is
not a thing I need to regret even a little bit.  :-)

I have to agree that you don't make a habit of jumping on people in general. 
My impression is that you have been making a habit of jumping on Jim, for no
obvious reason adequate to explain your vehemence.  What makes it seem even
odder is that you've not been shy about advertising services you (?) had on
offer from time to time.

the check by mistake, which can't be *that* much less likely than
actually winning [the lottery].  -- David Dyer-Bennet
