  Hi Dann

  A voice of reason!! However I did not "read between the lines" Anon clearly
said that "idon't believe that hiarcs7.32 made 21 h5, odell has an axe to grind"
it doesn't take much intelligence to see he called me a liar, certainly you
cannot expect me to just ingore such a post. Would you? But I do agree on the
let's try and get along part, Going back and forth with this does get tiring.
That is why I do agree that we should excersise some self control, and not make
provacative remarks like calling someone a liar, totally inappropriate. If you
don't want to get bit don't play with the dog.
Thanks for your remarks
