Actually, Roger chose not to sink the level of blasting someone he thought to be wrong. Instead, he gave a good answer that showed more maturity than we see on many of these threads. IMO that was a very honorable thing to do. I think that makes this thread that much better. There's an old proverb that I've heard (can't recall it verbatim), but the gist of it is that in a heated verbal argument, the person who throws the first punch is the one who admits he is wrong (because he can no longer defend himself logically). Similarly, on these threads, the ones who go around flaming people who have made mistakes (and everyone who trades will be wrong sometimes) are the ones throwing punches. jmo
