Every time I say something, you jump in with 500 lines of blather anxiously attempting to refute whatever I say. I think most luggers are intelligent enough to form their own opinions of what I write without your obfuscations. As for myself, I'm flattered that you're so concerned with every word I say, but I'm not interested in your overanxious critiques of my opinions. - --Mike
