I guess it's because I learned how to read. I never said it was an invasion
of privacy everybody else did. I also conceded the point about a and b.
If your not to busy ranting and raving you would have seen it. (Yes when
I think I'm proven wrong, I concede the point. It is called 'learning'.
Try it sometime Scott.

It's your own signature file not mine. But somehow I think iut fits.

BTW: I'm getting bored by this subject so I don't plan on responding anymore.
( I know..clap,clap,clap)
But I just wanted to say that I dont like it when I get phone calls. I consider
it an inconvience (sp) but not a invasion.

I tried to keep some humor in the discussion but...... anyway onto the next
subject where hopefully I wont be alone.
