I didn't absolutely need to use the word 'yenta' in order to get my
basic point across in my original comment, so in view of the response to
my using it, I apologize to the list - I had no bad intent in using the

the sense that I've never heard of anyone picking a fight or starting
one over calling someone or someone's mom a yenta).
