Well, I knew you were being funny, and that it was. :-)  But I honestly didn't even come to close to guessing the true meaning of your "honking!"  I thought it was a car "honk."  This must be the a peculiar instance similar to the difficulties Walter experiences with icons and GUI's :-).

See, Matthew?  You can't win with complicated or simple words.  You just pack too much meaning into them, regardless! ;-)
