In Tom's analogy, I'd probably be a stamp ... and yes .. *grin* .. SDAI-Tech1, I have been here since the very beginning. Do you have a prize for me?? ;) I was taught that one sits quietly and listens to the conversation before jumping in - that debate was based on facts - and that one did not insult or otherwise disparage people personally in the course of that debate. Unfortunately, I have trouble posting here because of my computer and do so hate to mess up the board with subject lines that I cannot see, and thus keep my posting to a minimum. But after following Sparatcus from his initial post and finding pretty much only insults and nasty put-downs of other posters, I wondered why he came to post here in the first place. It certainly wasn't for the comradship (oops, perhaps that's a judgment on my part).
