Well, as I have become accustomed too, you are ready to pull out any and all
quotes out of postings as suits you. I do not choose to return the favour, nor do
I take any such comments as has come from you in any way personal... after all...
we really dont know each other well enough.

You choose to be inflammed by the statements irregardless of the spirit in which
they are delivered...well that is your affair Keith. Sorry you feel that way if
you do.

Then you must simply get serious about things. Your position is simply untenable
and indefensable and I sense you know this. Me thinks you like a good crangle as
much as anyone here... and I do mean "grin".

Actually... this basic subject matter has been argued on some level or another for
at least 250 years or so.
