BTW, Nerd, I subscribe to the idea that if you don't have anything nice to say, and if no basic, very important principles (such as human rights) are at stake, don't say anything. Maybe you've never heard of that one. Personally, I think it's a good way of doing things.

That is why I haven't responded to the many posts of yours and Fred's in which the two of you enumerate all of the ways you find my style of posting unattractive, or disagreeable, by telling you what I think of yours. And I think I'll continue to keep it to myself.
