It's me again, Margaret

Following all the hubub on the last post's comments (please read them if you haven't already), I thought it best to clarify a couple things concerning the anonymous signature:

"It's me again, Margaret (Your Sister)"

First of all; No, I do NOT have a sister named Margaret (right Mom?).

Second, most of my two readers (which by default must be both otherwise the implied majority would not be met), read the line syntactically different than the author had intended.

The "(Your Sister)" identifier is reffering to the "It's me again", not to the "Margaret". So another way to say this could have been: "Hey Margaret, this is your sister again". This would make the original poster my "Sister", but it would not make her "Margaret". In essence, I am the "Margaret" in the post. So technically, if the phrase had any validity to it, I would not have a sister named Margaret, but my sister would have a sister named Margaret, as would each of my siblings.

Rest assured, I am not now, nor have I ever been, "Margaret".

I do however, have a few sisters and one one of them was attempting to be funny (it's tough living in my shadow) by quoting the comedian Ray Stevens from 1985 (somewhat dating herself in the process). Ray Stevens, of "The Streak" fame, actually made a video out of this 'song' and you can see it on jibjab.com if really interested, but be forewarned that although relatively tame, it does have some creepy insinuations... and no, I'm not in it.

Well, I hope this clears things up,
Margaret.
