Okay...You're right...I'm wrong...I over reacted to your orignal post...and
I apologize...(The LUG usually has a civilizing effect upon me...It didn't
this time, and for that I am humbly sorry...)

No matter.  You had no right to respond the way you did.
Please note that I do not call you names and I refuse to further bring the
level
of my message down to that which you bring yours.

[My tacky message below was a retort to Mr. Cohen's similar answer to my
question in the thread "chrome body, black lens".  I had hoped that if I
responded to his query in a similar way (words obviously derived from his
own),
then he might see the inappropriateness of his response.  No such luck.]
