Mike, sorry if I came across as being overly defensive or thin-skinned. I really don't want to step on toes, I'd rather just kick it with folks who share my interests. In retrospect, it might have been better if I just didn't respond. Also, it's pretty likely that folks were just expressing themselves and things went off the rails a bit. Email is weird that way. Sorry to all if I ruffled feathers. I'm not really that prickly, I just felt I could try to move the conversation along even though I was skating the edge of some potential vitriol, as long as I was polite enough. It seems that I at least partially failed at doing that, Mike, since you picked up on a bit too much negativity and defensiveness. I'll turn down the amplifier a bit, and switch the station to easy listening for a while. :-) -Swift
