Marty,If you want a place to rip a rant off your chest, Mudcat will surely oblige; others, I am sure will join you.
But you know, it's no way to increase your understanding. Part of your post indicates a desire to understand, and if you really do want that, contact me in e-mail when you have the rant out of your system, because I can explain how these rigid happen. But this thread will only bring more division, IMO. You see, you have added to, and solicted more of, the rhetoric you deplore.
