Whoooooosh.

Kevin Kofler -- there was an interesting msg in that paragraph.

Some of the points you make are valid, and worthy of discussion.
Reasonable people may disagree on them, and you'll have to find a way
to work within a community where people might disagree on some things
with you. Without a particular need to repeat, restate and re-explain
your points 100 times, with escalating hyperbole.

You are good communicating, so (at least I, perhaps we) generally get
what you mean, in your first post.

cheers,
