Thumpy

Do I rightly suspect this was a note meant in private that slipped 
out... been there done that... always regretable.

But just so we are clear. I respect the knowledge and ability of all 
these folks. Respect is not the same as awe tho, and each of us needs to 
try our best to figure out the sense in things our own way... and in 
that regard we all deserve equal respect yes ??

btw... no time and see no point in picking on anyone in particular. Life 
is too short for that eh ?  I do reserve the right to raise a 
questioning finger in the air from time to time tho ...hehe..

btw btw... nice comments on the Baldwins.... sounds like Baldwins 
version of the front duplex ??  Pics anyone ?  Cant say I've ever seen 
one of these beasts over here.  And they sure as heck didnt sell them at 
Sherman and Clay !

Cheers
