<<if you fall into the piranha pool you want to be the piranha.>> want or need in order to live to tell the tale...it is all too often thrust upon us, don't you think, and only the fittest are able to survive provided they are willing to embrace that choice. are want and need always capable of merging? i don't think so.

Yes, exactly, that is the exact point! I wrote that on the "spur of the moment" as it were. 10,000 posts ago. Like all metaphors, it's not perfect, but you got the concept precisely. I checked out this "flame" thing and it seems that there is a bit of it going on at several threads. I find it rather curious, I was not aware of this stuff before recently. One guy on the Kahuna thread said at one point, "SHUT UP". Clear yet succinct! :o) People need to read less newspapers and watch less TV. I'm done with this flaming research. It's even Saturday! sheesh.
