Ron, you mistake what Shambles wants. He doesn't want a discussion, which would lead to resolution. He would be very happy if this thread went on, with you responding to him for another 6 months. I salute your motives, they will not yield fruit. They have all been tried before. When you see folks that are intolerant of this guy, like myself, Spaw, and others, it isn't because we enjoy being this way. Over the years we have all tried to reason with him, but this isn't about reason. It is about a pathological need to see himself in a Quixotal (howzat for a word?) way. He fancies himself a messiah crying out in the wilderness. He will not go quiet, but continue to nitpick. I have tried to point these things out to you, but you feel the need to try. Good luck on that, and I will watch with interest. My prediction: won't work, you will try for a quite a while, and eventually give up in disgust.

All the best,

Mick
