Ron,
   Arrogant? Mois? Cynical, maybe, and scarcastic, for sure, argumentitive, unfortunately, and pontifical, no doubt. But my arrogance is just a guise, a ruse to amuse, a ruse by any other name.
Of course, there is a difference between the Democratic party line and the usual Mudcat portside rant.
These little discussions we have are excercises in faceless arrogance. I dis you, you dis me and we all go to the seashore.
