What's with the unwarranted attack on Randy? I have found his suggestions on many and most issues to be invaluable. If you don't agree. Fine. But attacking him leaves you with no credibility. And that probably isn't fair to you, either. "We wear the cloak we weave." Hey, that's not bad. Is that plagiarized or did I just get original? <grin> Remember, there are only 12 plot lines out there. Seriously, please be cool Don.
