Andrew...nothing I could have done in this area would have made you happy,
because what you wanted to discuss was simply discussing it, not the purpose
of the discussion. I understand that. If I haven't played according to your
rules, I'm sorry. Perhaps I could have gone about this differently and being
where we are now, I might have. OTOH, you have to expect that what you say
and more importantly, how you say it is going to be around way after the
subject has died off, and how it is used is sometimes not what you
anticipated.
Whatever...

And then you decided to hold me up as an example. Which is fine, I have
thick
skin and can take it, but don't act like your some saint, John. You used me
as
your "straw man" and I swatted back at you. In the process of telling us how
objective and civil you are, you were being uncivil and very subjective to
me.
If you pull the tiger's tail, expect to get growled at.

Next time you want to set up a club where only "special people" get to
participate, leave me out of it. Don't use me at an example of what you
don't
want. Because, believe it or not, I might take offense to that.
