Thanks to those who have contacted me on the subject relating my mocking approach of mr. Hessler comments. I agree that it is better to stop this discussion as mr. Hessler, ad nauseam, takes his trusted defensive position yet again in “apologizing” to the list for the STUPIDITY of his criticasters. Under those circumstances continuing any argument with mr. Hessler is senseless ... I was warned before ... I should have known better. You win!
