MAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE COULD HAVE MISREAD WHAT I HAD TO SAY WORSE THAN YOU JUST DID!! Pardon me. I'll stop shouting. Rereading what I just wrote, Janet, I see your read subtlety and sarcasm into every single last line I wrote. UNFAIR. I don't know if you ever read anything I contribute (I would bet you never agree with any of it if you do ) but when I have not told it up front the way I see it? I don't want hucksters screwing up this list. I was trying not to be too bombastic to the person to whom i was responding who was supporting "Mr Fox" and his right to sell stuff. Your line by line analysis of my comments....you recite something i said and then come to a TOTALLY illogical conclusion about what i meant. And i thought you were among the smarter ones here. Or perhaps you don't want my contributions? MAYBE THE "CONTROL" IN YOUR NEW "TITLE" IS GOING TO YOUR HEAD A BIT, EH???? Well - who needs it!! Bruce.
