Whatever. You missed my point entirely and took my posts on this subject
out of context.
Gunther,
Actually I got your point in its entirety, and I do not dissagree.
I am not suggesting a course of action like interviewing everybody.
In fact I am not suggesting any course of action at all. Please bear
in mind I was not trying to offend or provoke you in any way.
That being said, I still think my statement is true.
