It is a good rule to follow the first law of holes: if you are in one, stop digging." -- Denis Healey Thank you for that. It's one of my favorite thoughts. I used to have it posted in my office, back when I had an office. But I never knew the exact wording or the attribution. I've clipped it to my file of little treasures. Karen

LOL. Good post. I'll try to stop digging. Unfortunately, though, when people challenge you and you say you're tired of a discussion and want to move on, they sometimes then use that to trumpet that you have "lost" the argument and they were right. But now I have a better answer. I'll just say "I'm taking CR's advice and moving on. I suggest you do the same." Hope you don't mind me using you this way. Anything to find a reasonably graceful way out of this whole mess.
