Indeed, we get on quite well.

How did we go from me making a joke to Ken, to me supposedly insulting
Richard???  

My comment was entirely a wise-acre one.  Since he'd unequivocally and
emphatically stated something, I thought it'd be amusing to immediately
re-question it.  Nothing more, nothing less...  And certainly not insulting
anyone prior to Ken's comment--I was just joking publicly with Ken.

Crimey, next time I use smileys!
