Tom, got to kind of agree with the last few posts. When I say lay off, it means shut up. I, too, was suprised by Mick's comments, and telling someone to lay off in a debate indicates you just don't want to hear anymore. If he had meant "Temper", maybe he should have shown a more even temper himself, as his opening line of "Doug, sometimes you can be such an ............." shows a bit of anger and ad hominum. Now, I may be wrong, but that's how I read it too.

Let's keep talking, not shouting.

Peace, Blues
