There is no such thing as an "ad hominem attack" dear Dave. There are ad hominen arguments. Those are argument which attempt to draw a conclusion contrary to something someone adverts by challenging their character. I never have seen one of those on this list. Oh, wait, your response was one. LOL And, if there were such a thing as an ad hominem attack, you would be rather immune anyway, right? LOL Anyway, at least this submission by you contained some bit of fire and a little light too. Good show! Quite a surprise, really. Thanks.
