When I give someone a gift, it is theirs to do with as they please; they do not require my permission to do so. I've both given and received gifts to/from people on this group (and obviously elsewhere), and no such strings or expectations have ever been attached. If they were or ever are, thanks, but no thanks. I can put myself in Nann's position because I've been there many times and I just shrug it off. What surprises me is that something like that would still surprise her. The hopes of a giver are that a gift be appreciated. Well, Nann's gift *was* appreciated - by at least a couple of people instead of just one, and she should (and probably does) have a good feeling that she was able to make some folks delighted/pleased. Wasn't that the whole point? Is it that big a deal that it was appreciated by someone else?
From her sig line it also sounded to me like Nann wasn't all that enthralled by what *she* received, and I don't see anyone calling her rude for making a disparaging (albeit humorous) remark about it on a newsgroup where the remark could possibly get back to whoever gave it to her.
We can either look for the good and laugh about things or we can go out of our way to find/perceive fault and complain.
