Thanks for your grudging compliment there.  :-)  Hey, I even agree with
YOU when you're in the right.  <BW>

I never have any problem with anyone who reads what I HAVE TO SAY with
an open mind, whether they agree or not, IMHO (Kent will say that
never happens -- I said it for you <G>).

I agree, except an amendment to the "chit chat" part.  It's especially
important NOT to cross-post anything in any SERIOUS discussion in which
information exchange may be seriously hampered in the sense Kent expressed.
