Oy... I think I've been pretty clear from the git-go. But you're so damned certain that your POV is where the debate stops, and you're so busy throwing up smoke screens, you have no idea what I've been saying. <br><br>I fold.

<br>Funny, it seems to me that he's been very polite and informative<br>throughout his time in this forum, unlike you, that started tossing<br>insults and wise cracks at him since either his first or second post. <br><br><br><br>

Great. Thanks for the Forum 101 lesson. And from now on, I'll check in with you to see what threads you'll allow me to post in, and then I'll have you vet the post before I nail it up on the board. That work for you?<br><br>
