Yes, you responded anyway. I'm confused. You complained that I didn't respond to the main thrust of your post. Now I've responded to it and you're not happy. If you don't want to know, don't ask. If I haven't commented about a particular point in one of your posts, then it's because I don't have anything good to say, or nothing that adds anything particularly valuable to the discussion. Or I'm just not interested. If you need the attention, I can tell you what I think every time you post. It certainly won't take me much time, given your history of posts. -- David W.
