theboz... Have you ever had one of those days when there's no fuse left to light, so you fire off a verbal volley instead? Well, that was one of those days!! After waiting for them to run out of breath-- a courtesy they didn't deserve --I dragged out my floating "soap box" and launched into my own long-winded dissertation on who and why we are, and what it is we do, exactly, for the resources. Do I believe that my explanation made any difference. Probably not... But, one can always hope!

My "best guess" is that they pushed my button, and I felt both an obligation and a compulsion to set the record straight. And, I'd do it again in a heartbeat, just on the hopes that something I said might sink in during the rest of their trip downstream. A mind can only be changed if it's presented with overwhelming evidence that runs contrary to its initial perceptions, no matter how skewed their views might truly be... Jerry, aka hairwing530
