As I said before, their method of communication is "somewhat unconventional" but they do communicate quite well. Vincent is no saint! He recognizes Bob's fatal flaw, his vulnerability, and keeps on prodding Bob over and over again without mercy. Bob is no saint either, but this requires no explanation. : ) The rest of the CCC community should let them have their "fun." No real blood is spilled. This reminds me of a married couple I know. They've been married more than 30 years, and they "fight," verbally, all the time. But they will never divorce. They have adjusted to each other and seem satisfied with the arrangement. No physical conflict is involved in that case either. So why should anybody try to intervene? It's their marriage. There is more than one way to skin a cat. There is more than one way to live a life. And, there is more than one way to communicate on a bulletin board. Bob and Vincent are "married." Let no man tear asunder this extremely weird "marriage." : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) Bob D.
