mark of your intelligence that you are willing to take
me or anyone else on when it concerns a matter about
which you have strong beliefs. I still do not accept
what you say (if I understand it), but don't feel
insecure about voicing it. I kind of got that
impression, but maybe I was wrong.

To the contrary, my skin is tough! And I am thouroughly (sp?) enjoying the
back and forth as it helps me understand immensely and good excersize for the
brain.

I just thought I detected a letting down of your standards in some of your
appeals to emotion (or so they smacked to me).

In fact sometimes I agree with you 100% but these problems I point out are
still staring me in my face. I only take a position to flesh it out until I
recognize it as right or wrong. Nothing invested, really.

Please carry on when you return. I await eagerly, and say hello to Mr. Levin
from a friend of Bruce's who found his chapter very enjoyable. Is this a
small world or what?
