Give it a rest, please. Mr. Colen . . . Since nothing you say above has anything to do either with the content, the tone, or the purpose of my brief original posting to the list and my even briefer response to you, I'm certainly glad to give it a rest. Having had the opportunity in the meantime to browse through the thirty or or so postings you've made in the intervening hours, I understand clearly that I'm not by temperament nearly as vocal as you, certainly not as wise, and very certainly not as comfortable as you seem to be while navigating closely to either side of the border that separates bluntness and loutishness. I shall certainly take your admonition to heart and undertake not to be so silly in the future. Cordially Daniel Bowdoin
