But I note a trueism about you and John in your long running series of spats. What you say about each other appears to be mostly true, but what you say about yourselves lacks something in the way of honesty. The way the two of you mirror each other with your "win the argument at any cost" and "I have to have the last word" brings shame upon the entire list. It just isnt civilised behavior! Both of you are friends of mine. Both of you are friends of the list. But you act as if you were siblings. I bet you guys couldnt go the remainder of the month without an unkind word to say to or about each other. I really wonder if you have the strength of character to forgo mutual abuse for that long. Sigh! xponent Gentlemen, Stop Your Engines Maru rob
