Dear Michael aka Tortoro, First of all, may I suggest you work on your sense of humor. A quick google search came up with the following quote from Donald Rumsfeld of all people: Keep your sense of humor. As General Joe Stillwell said, "The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of his behind." Second, I find your repated cant of 'bullshit' to be disingenuous and disrespectful. As you point out in your note, bullshit is not related to truth or lying. It refers to a discourse on a topic where the speaker has no knowledge and just makes things up as they go. While I may disagree with you, I don't think you are making this up as you go - I just think you are wrong. There's an important difference there. ---Gary -- GaryB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GaryB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32231
