I don't give a rat's a** about what you _think_. It is totally unimportant to me. However, I do get concerned when you (a) start the name-calling and (b) put words (or thoughts) on a public forum about what you think I think. I might be arrogant. You are stupid. I suppose that makes us even in some twisted way? I don't care whether you agree with my opinion or not. That opinion is _mine_ to do with as I choose. Get one of your own for a change. And quit worrying about what _I_ happen to think. You aren't going to bully me into changing anything. I will do that when the time is appropriate. Until then, buzz off... I have been out of town and away from a computer all week. I posted a notice about this before I left. It is amazing how the morons come out when I leave for a bit... I suppose they think they can say whatever they want about what I must be thinking, since I won't be around to contradict them? time to grow up a bit...
