Dear Krushnamegh, I respect the spirit of "Agree to Disagree." I do that a lot and once if I form an opinion I stick to it at last only for this that I agree to disagree.

As long as one doesn't call the other "a bloody idiot" it is okay by me. Gentlemen, let us know what we should finally call the butterfly species in question - Darkie or Brownie?
