I apologize for incorrectly using Mr. Hyatt's name as the author of my quote; however, I don't consider it a terrible sin to quote someone else in presenting a response to an issue at hand. This is not considered an evil practice in the literary world. If you are offended by such a deed, then I must assume you are easily offended. If you believe my argument didn't require further elaboration such as quoting someone else - I can appreciate that. It just so happens that I was going down the list of messages when I came across "Uneven Hardware" and thought it relevant to include the quote in support of my argument. Apparently you feel it was wrong to do such a thing. True, it now gives the other side fuel to add to their fire; however, you have to understand that Mark Young was really getting on my nerves when he persisted to prolong this debate by merely repeating over and over the same argument even after I told him to let it rest. In any case, I will consider your recommedation in the future when I post other messages.:-) Regards, Mel
