Poppa Gator, Sorry you view my comments as a "pretty rude development" on this thread. I did not realize thread drifts were a form of disrespect. I gave Tom my praise and tangentially referred to his line of work. May the Gods forgive me.

As for Miss Hepburn:   
I still love her work-no one like her. She's always had the tag of being independent & saucy & devoted to her career. She has,indeed, earned all the praise.

However, I don't think anyone has the right to flaunt bad manners, rudely talk over others, and act in such a haughty manner. It ain't cute!
