Audrey, m'dear... Amongst our List-family, it's best to "agree to disagree," about politics, religion, and whether a pizza can still be a REAL pizza if it has pineapple on top (DEFINITELY NOT! YUCK!) <grin>. Otherwise there'll be a lot of needless fussing 'n fueding 'round here. Sooooo.... just you go on being your caring, thoughtful, sweet self, and know your opinion is welcome (even if it LOOKS like it's not - it IS), as is your person.
