I don't know if we will be friends, but we don't need to be enemies!

Perhaps. I wouldn't hope for too much until you're willing to apologize for calling my grandfather a thug.

Enough is Too Much!!!

Ah, something we agree on. Will you stop, then? You say you will. But you've said that before, and you didn't. As I said earlier, I'm not holding my breath.

The only reason I'm discussing this with you at all is that you had a civil discussion in the previous thread with somebody (I forget now who) about water treatment. Which showed me a side of you I'd never seen before, and I thought "hey -- maybe this guy *IS* capable of civil discourse." It was short lived, alas, but you say you're going to be civil now, and I'm willing to let you try. But not willing to hold my breath.

I will forego the apology on the mind-reading thing, if you can come up with one for my grandfather.
