Nick: Ian, are you saying here you prefer me to be Ad Hominem? Ok, so my sincere personal opinion is a "no win game". Ian, you're one opposite person.

And I was explicit about my "extreme position" and my "explicit personal opinion" about each person. So I guess everything I've said is "good manners". Thanks. So no hard loses on your part, in other words, you took it on the chin well. Nick -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
