Mr. Pinkwater,

In these parts a ‘toot’ is someone of very good character and who is nice to be around. A real fun-loving and pleasant individual. I meant no slur to you or your wife…my post was a complement written the best way I know how. I stand corrected and will use “hoot” henceforth. Thank you for the lessons.

Merely having a toot at your expense--no offense intended.
