If you insist on being the bad guy on the list you will have to accept that you are setting us against each other. I would prefer that it not be this way truely, but if I found my own brother beating his wife I would set myself to stop him from committing an evil act. In this sense I feel compelled to oppose you, because I feel that you are harming many of the good and attractive things about the list. I know that one way or the other this whole thing will end and things will be settled, and then all the crap between us will be at an end and we will be friends again if it pleases you. It would please me. But until that time comes I will operate with honest intent, according to my beliefs, and will do my best to pursuade you of the error of your ways until such a time that we come to an agreement. At that point forgiveness will reign and while the past will not be forgotten, it can be put aside. What really amazes me is how easily your wounded pride has pushed aside your love for your friends here. And I *know* you care a lot about the people on this list. xponent Invisivincible Maru rob
