 Annette, David is the one who is responsible for  making "pun" headlines 
an important issue with me. This goes back a couple of years ago.
 David, a few months ago I whipped off a letter to the editor of a local 
computer paper for  trying to be "cute" with almost every story headline.
They published the letter with edits, the major one making a pun for the 
headline!!

    I couldn't agree with you more.
