Eldon Slife, you said to me << re-read my original post >>, and I say that better still, for you to re-read your posts to me. From your profile, Eldon F. Slife Company, identifies you as the owner with most likely the title of president. Your initial posts are classic examples of how those who control an environment of workers will talk to subordinates as if they are lower in rank as human being. Your were very polite and gentle and even kind. Not many picked up what was really there, but then maybe I alone have the training to understand things imaginary and not present. There is a time to take control, but it can be done with or without respect to others. I once had to degrade and humiliate another for the good of all present. I as a lowly private in Marines in Vietnam had a brand new wet behind the ears lieutenant in charge of a bunch of us grunts and as we entered an area, quickly the chit hit the fan and I observed the lieutenant taking the time to remember which lesson in his training gave him the answer to decide the course of action to take for us. I gave him 5 more seconds and decided that rather than wait longer I decided to take charge. But as anyone knows thru military service, enlisted like the rest of us do not ever violate the seperation that seperates us from an officer. I could have yelled out commands and even told all that the lieutenant was a dummie, but I would have had to wait for the cows to come home before the others would not but wait for orders from the officer. Even the sergeant did not want any thing to do with taking command away from an officer when there was no real clear reason. So I needed the lieutenant to proclaim to all, Hearie Hearie, lend me your ears, from this moment on private doug is now in charge. Did I say please lieutenant examine the situation and see if you can come to the same conclusion as I have. Nope, I took charge of his person and explained to him in very clear and strong words his present state, and a correct course of action. He agreed and proclaimed me supreme being for this current event. He never recovered. << No more flames please! >> Life in the big city. Can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. This IPMCF thread has been violated in the past, like a woman by a rapist, or a man in prison by other men. Martial Law until the merger happens and law and order returns. Until then, war condition. In love and war, ???? (i forget this one). But one last thought, as Richard keeps asking me to do, tounge in cheek grain of salt Doug
