Ian, thanks for giving yourself a name. I was responding to the way you sounded, just as you responded to the way I did. In real life, I am not pompous. Probably my writing didn't express my intention very well. I have no real interest in name calling, and if I misunderstood your post, I'm sorry. As I said, I was responding to what I thought you said. As for being a prig--well, taking away the part about you being one of 'those folks'--there are people who feel the way I described, and I had to work with the results of their attitudes. It would have brokne my heart to see so much wasted life, except that as adults these people were finally getting away from the damage done by others. That part, I don't take back, or apologize for that. Just for misunderstanding you. Regards, doug
