Let other people believe what they want and leave the rest of us alone. FtG ********************************************************************** I wish you would have used your name so I could think of you on a more personal level while writing this. But, your anonymity is by your choice and I assume for personal reasons. Whoever you are, FtG, Who asked You to tell anyone to keep thier opinions to themselves? This newsgroup is open to anyone's opinion (even yours and mine) and no one appointed you to change or limit that. If you desire to be left alone in your close-minded beliefs, then this newsgroup is the wrong one to be subscribed to. People are going to believe what they consider true (you, me, larry, and all) and your comment is, at least, out of place in a discussion such as this. If you want to put forth any doctrine, dogma, viewpoint, or just a constructive comment, please feel free to do so. But, to take it upon yourself to stick up for my 'right to believing what I believe' or my 'right to be left alone' is not needed, wanted, or accepted. YOU leave ME alone. Sorry to flame so hard, but the text of your article up to that point was generally of an informative nature and quite accepable as such. But, the paragraph in question implied an air of arrogance that shot down the point of the article. Randall Elliott Tektronix, Inc. Beaverton, Ore.
