What I've quoted in Dave's message are his core thoughts, the thrust of his message thread. Your reply, as I said in another message, does not touch his comments. It's as if you were talking about a totally unrelated subject. So, let me use the automobile analogy in my own way. We all like the automobile. I'm sure you do as well. What I do not like about the automobile is its use by people to drive intoxicated, because they kill and maim people. I do not like the use of excessive speed because speed kills - except on the Autobahn. I do not like automobiles being driven on the wrong side of the highway, because that can kill someone. I do not like automobiles being driven at night without proper lighting such as headlights and taillights. I do not like an automobile to be driven by an unlicensed driver for safety's sake. I do not like an automobile to be moved down the highway without a driver controlling it with his/her hands on the wheel. What am I saying to you? That I do not like automobiles or that I do not like illegal and/or improper use of automobiles? Tell me which? Howard W6IDS Richmond, IN
