I sure wish I were as eloquent as you Steve because you pretty well
summed it up. What I can't figure out is why anyone would hang around
here knowing how we are. It's baffeling how so many people could be in
tune with one another, and a stranger cannot understand it and '****'
off. In other words, we will close the door on people who try to butt in
with views that are not acceptable to this group. Gus is absolutely
right in that he can post anywhere he wants to on Usenet. But 'we'are
not obligated to respond.
