No offense was intended!  In reference to the fact that {reH tlhInganpu'
taHjaj} is used for toasts, but {reH taHjaj tlhInganpu'} is used otherwise,
Regina said she never drinks anything when composing e-mail.  Above, I said,
{'ach QInDaj qontaHvIS weQqul tlhutlhbe'taH chay' 'e' DaSov?} "But how do
you know that weQqul wasn't drinking when she wrote his or her message?"
Regina replied, {pegh De'vam} "This is secret information," "That's a
secret."  This is the sort of thing one tends to say when one HAS a secret,
so I jokingly played along in a Klingon manner, using a Secrecy Proverb:
{Hov ghajbe'bogh ram rur pegh ghajbe'bogh jaj!} "A day without secrets is
like a night without stars!"

I had no intention of implying anything about you, or to try to find out
anything about you.  It was just a silly conversation.  I apologize if we
didn't make that clear.
