Roger,
When I said I am not convinced, that is EXACTLY what I meant, and nothing
more. I suppose I could have said "yet," but I didn't think I would be so
seriously misconstrued. Don't accuse me of being closed-minded just
because I don't happen to agree with you. I know perfectly well that I
don't know everything, but if you are so damned smart, then TEACH ME, don't
CRITICIZE me.
