now I dont remember posting either of the two other comments attributed to me
maybe it was a pseudo :-) but........ so what!
my point (such as it was) is that folks are getting carried away to such
an extent that there was some really vicious stuff being written and
being the good pacifist type that I am ( go ahead and flame me for that too)
I thought that a bit of distance from the battle would help.
Apparently not.
Just goes to show you that some people would rather flame away rather than
try to put across a rational (?) argument.
Attacks on someone ( and no i am not referring to myself ) if the are
done merely for the sake of denigrating them or something that they
believe (rightly or wrongly) are silly and not worth the bandwidth.

End of speech for today.
