Mitzi,

Perhaps the present exchange will not smell as sweet as the sucrose that you remember, but I promise that it will be more exciting than a few tablespoons of sugar.

One point that I wish to make to you, in spite of present appearance, is that this is usually a very intelligent and civil forum.

We are frequently visited by folks with different views, and some come and some go. I have a view which is mine and frankly, I am very opinionated. That is just the way that I am, just a tad to the right of "Atilla the Hun". I do, however value the view of others, and I appreciate and take seriously their input.

Zeev is Jewish--If I remember correctly, he is of the Tribe of Benjamin, but I could be misaken. One who is observent gets to know other folks on these threads. I do not know the further delineation of his heritage, but I will bet that he can tell you if you ask. I have given Zeev the task of being civil to "Wolf, and as far as I can discern, he is doing that. I will hold true to my promise of being civil to my assumed "pest", "thall".
You can see that I refer to earlier comments on this thread. I am not a "talmudic" scholar, but I do read my Bible from time to time, and I understand more of the Jewish people than most.

I will not go deeply into that, but I will say to you that I do not judge by race, religion, sex, or anything like that. I judge by spoken word. Just as simple as that.

May I be judged by the same standard, and rideculed by the same standard, Absolutely!!!

Jack!
