The two detectives end up getting into a fist-fight and Marlow sarcastically suggests that this is must be a new and novel way of softening up a suspect by hving the cops beat each other into a pulp. I am rather astonished to find the disconnect on the LUG over the past day or so. I am especially astonished to note that the folks who have generally treated my comments with derision and mocking disdain are now attacking each other or, in one case, leaving the LUG entirely. Are you guys attempting to soften me up? It won't work, but I do appreciate the hard effort you've put into the effort. <he grins> You guys can't grind me down with such a patently obvious scheme! Calm down, guys, and let's get back to business. And, BD, get back on the List where you belong. It really isn't the same without your presence.
