MMARIO, my good friend, makes a valid point. I am sorry for my outburst of 05 Mar 04 - 12:14 AM. While I believe I have taken the correct stance on this issue, my response certainly did nothing to further the discussion. In fact, I said some things which, in retrospect and reflection, I see now to be hurtful. INOBU has been a member here a long time, is always interesting, and has no history of being patronizing. I should have given him the benefit of the doubt, rather than flying off. I would like to be able to say I was just tired (I was), or that I have much on my mind (I do), but none of that excuses poor manners, or lack of consideration. I do believe in responding in kind where merited (see GUEST,Barry post and response), but nothing that our Larry Otway (INOBU)has done in the past would indicate that he meant to be patronizing. I am sorry.
