I am nobody's minion (the pay is lousy and the life expectancy ditto), nor am I part of a posse (the local police department doesn't need my creaky help). I have friends and family, and a large number of acquaintances and people-I-talk-to and neighbors and second cousins. All that good stuff.

If I ever form a posse, redbird, you're on the list of folks I'd ask. Really. :-} Wordslingers and phraseshooters all, straight from the quip, wielding Red Pencils of Ultimate Correctness. Take *that*, Bad Grammar Boy!

As for being a "minion," I agree -- that was rather condescending and insulting. I have no need of minions, nor would I want to be one.
