Mike,
I'm going to take a break from this conversation. Any serious response on my part would take a great deal of time, more posting space than either of us would like, and drive the rest of the thread members batty. You mention a great many issues, each of which has a certain logic, and, when pasted together, their logic would be different from the one you bring to play.
I started to simply pass your post by, but that would be more than a little rude. I like posting to you. But, on this one, for those reasons, I'm going to take a pass.
If you wish to narrow it down to something that you can imagine a post of a few paragraphs as a response, I would be happy to respond. Oh, yes, though, remember about me. I have a very hard time typing short posts. It takes me a paragraph or so, usually, to just get started. |
