No I don't!!! (just kidding).

I appreciate your point of view on this David......and I admit it can get
out of hand. My opinion at this point is that it has not, but.....my
tolerance for it may be higher.

I used to be on several listservs.....but the enormous amount of mail has
caused me to gradually reduce to just this one. Occassionaly I sign off
and go to another, but.......if the conversation turns toward a hot topic,
I enjoy the discussions.

Sorry if I provoked any anger over my responses....no such intent was
meant.
