i'm bowing out now, as i really need to get caught up on email (sorry to folks who are due one!) bigtime.
but i really do enjoy playing a bit of mental volleyball with such excellent folk. plabonte, you offer up good food for thought, bro, and if it comes down to "agree to disagree," it's been a pleasure... and hey, i said a LITTLE humor not a LOT. 😉
it really does my shriveled up heart good to know that folks can still take a very, very volatile topic and talk about it w/o degenerating into name-calling and such.
ciao f'now,
