I went through the postings to find out who originally started this
discussion (if you can call it that) and imagine my surprise when I
find out that JIM KIMBALL was the one who openly promoted the blatant
killing of cats.  This person not only works for the same company as I
do, he also works at the same building site, Walker Road.

Jim, I have a bone to pick with you.  I naturally realize that although
you may have voiced this sentiment, that you are probably not alone in
thinking this way (erroneous as it were).  Can you admit that you were
wrong to advise people to "shoot " cats?

Although an out-an-out admittal of wrongness would be nice, I almost
prefer to meet in person so I can see who the adversary is.  How
about it?  You "game"?  I sure am.
