Apparently my attempt to address you properly and in the form of a little gentle satire missed the mark. So, I guess I have to speak more plainly:

Your tendency to issue commands as if you were some kind of field general in charge of this thread is unfortunate. It is especially unfortunate since you issue them so seriously as if you expected them to be obeyed instantly. Sorry, but I don't take orders since I amn not in the military nor do I work for McDonald's or Burger King.

So, if you won't be too offended by my stealing a few of your words: "your attempt to issue commands as if you expect them to be obeyed without question while one is saluting you IS BOTH UNWARRANTED AND UNWELCOME."

So, point your pistol in another direction, General. I don't understand those with 'commanding' personalities and habits.

I've never known anyone with real money who felt the need to brag about how much money he had, real gentlemen aren't impressed by money (especially their own).

I agree.

I've met a few men whose wealth (or assumed wealth --- after all, it's all relative) was a substitute for strength in other areas. Seldom have I seen anyone (consciously or unconsciously) admit it so openly.

I'll respond to Michael and then I'm out of here.
