The poll was actually stuffed, I watched it occur.  You can believe what you
want,  I have no desire to argue.  I certainly have no reason to write the post
to entice you to read, as i had absolutely no knowledge that you were a member
of this group.  As for a troll I think indeed that word would only befit you,
since you are the one name calling, and thus attempting to start an arguement.
I will not participate nor respond further to your postings in this thread so as
i said believe what you want.
