For Maxine Krugman...........Please don't leave the Forum........somehow I will feel responsible, and perhaps an outlet for your feelings during the trying days ahead will benefit you. For Janet.........Some thoughts........I really don't think I have been nasty, just presenting an honest opinion while hoping to inject a modicum of humor.......Calling myself a "redneck" is not the same as someone else using it as a pejorative though I am not overly sensitive to that....... I do not object to the content of the majority of your postings, primarily the volume is the problem................however here are some quotes that may be apropos.......... "Facts are stubborn things".........Alain Rene' le Sage (1680-1747) "You have not converted a man because you have silenced him"....John Morley (1838-1928) "To generalize is to be an idiot".........William Blake (1757-1828) This ends my "contributions" on this subject lest I be guilty of what I object to.
