 I agree with you on your points, they are well taken.  I apologize to you and
 to the other people who respond with fair-mindedness. I simply responded
naturally to the fact that my opinion was under attack. If someone else has

express mine. I do, however, appreciate your comments on remaining good sports.

 thank you,
 George
