So I lied !
I'd like to thank "ALL" the voices who spoke up on the CA issue. We got an influx of new posters over the past 3 weeks. Pat taking a sabbatical from the M Fool board, and some of the gang on Si now, I, inviting the gang from poor old Prodigy. Lurkers coming out of the Bit Bucket, to voice their opinions.
The battle you have just seen, is nothing compared to how it would drag out back in the old days with CA. He has annoyed many people, and some have stopped posting for periods of time to cool off, only posting rarely. This has happen many times. He has some excellent input at times, though he is a none tech person. But he argues, and with reasons and statements, that are ridiculous, you can never, end the discussion. He has honed his trade, with each new mask.
I apologize to anyone offended, even all the faces of Chris Alexander ( or whoever you really are). I'm probably one of the nicest, easy going guys you ever may meet. Chris has learned how to get my goat. I'm glad everyone had a good chance to say their peace. I hope finally we can end it all once and for all. Over on the M Fool I am a minstrel. Some of my work has been found here. Some of you like it, some maybe don't. I do it because I enjoy it, I share hoping by chance it will crack a smile. While manning the console for tonight's Mars Pathfinder launch it just kind of hit me, So in tribute to ole Chris himself, whomever he is, I hope this will bring a smile, and a peace. Maybe the board can have it's peace, and start a new, with all us oldies and the new crew.

He lay face down in the desert sand, clutching a 6 six gun in his hand, Shot from behind, I thought he was dead, but under his heart lay an ounce lead. And a spark still burns where I used my knife, and late that night I saved the life of Chriso. (a high pitched wisper (hpw) ) ... Chrisco Chrisco
I nursed him till the danger past, the days went by he mended fast. and then from dawn till setting sun, he practiced with that deadly gun. and hour on hour, I watched it all, till no human being could match the draw, of Chrisco (hpw) Chrisco....Chrisco.....
One day we rode the mountain crest, and I went east and he went west.
I took to law and wore a Star, While he spread terror near and far. With guns and blood, he gained such fame, all through the west, they feared the name, of Chrisco. (hpw) Chrisco...... Chrisco......
I knew someday would come the test, which one of us, would be the best. and sure enough the word came down, he was hold up , in the town. I lead the posse out in the street, but I went in alone to meet, Chrisco. (hpw)Crisco.... Chrisco
His face had changed, sense we last met, he said he was the same, would I make a bet.
He twiched, I drew, with gun in hand, he said Sh__ and kicked the sand.
A dozen guns spit fire and lead, a moment later he lay dead.
and on his grave they can't explain, the dropplet of gold, above the name, of Chrisco. (hpw)Chrisco Chrisco
