I've always tried the "being nice" routine to accomplish most things in life. Cream & honey works most times. :-) However, there comes a point when the most mundane stuff is completely screwing up what one is trying to accomplish, often for the benefit of the person with the mundane mentality! Therefore, there's only one way to deal with the moron . You strike back like a Viper in heat and savage the person in as cold and cutting a voice as you can muster.... without raising your voice!!!! Speaking softly with a razor blade edge and your own emotions completely under control. And that is the success of the encounter!!!! Cold hearted killer control of your own emotions, because if you loose it you've lost the battle right there! Then walk away and you leave them standing there wondering who was that masked photographer? ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
