We are all adults here and we should be grown up enough to exert a bit of self discipline. I think Michael is a perfect example and I applaud him for handling these issues in the manner he has. You know........its OK to blow up or blow off some steam sometimes. We are all friends here, and friends should make some allowances for individual peculiarities, especially when people are known to be making an effort towards honest discourse and self-moderation. In that sense I think we have very little reason to let ourselves be uptight in regards to controversial subject matter. xponent Self Support Systems Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
