Dear Don,

I will take you apologies. Maybe the American and other humours are quite different from
our, but miser is a bad word in our German translation and meaning. All forgotten.
As I have seen the wonderful images of Melongena corona by Jim Miller, I just created
another pet name for me to continue joking

the new one is

Helmogena

with best shelling greetings hoping for an new answer

Ease up, Helmut.  It was only a play on your suggestion,
and you got the joke.  If I had intended to offend you,
rather than tease you, I could have done it directly without
making plays on words.  Sorry I did it just before I went
to bed, so that you would have to steam about it all day.

My apologies to the rest of the easily-offended.  Cheers,



Don
