Hey, I admit, late night, long hours, little sleep, results, a knee-jerk
response to a knee-jerk comment.  No biggie.  Life will go on.

Stoned?  No, grew out of it.  Naive, partially.  Communist, never.
Lotus?  Just a convienent example.

I will.  Just don't ask me to grovel.  <grin>

I'm agnositc, so that isn't it.  And, although I do look for Shareware
alternatives first, directly marketed products second, I will go the
commerical route as a last resort if it is the only way to accomplish my
goals.

Ok, I deserve it, I made a rash generalization.  I've got no qualms with
trying to make a buck, but when it becomes excessive, I get bent.

>Jack, you're disturbed. You need some help :-)

The truely distrubed are the ones who *know* they aren't.  I've been a basket
case since day one.  And damn proud of it too.  <grin>
