I regret writing the post now...Blowfish and yourself seem to have 
such closed minds, it almost seems to come across as _you_ are the 
_only_ one who is _right_ and everyone else is beneath you! I 
don't even feel sorry for either of you....you come across to me 
that the world _owes_ you something, if not _everything_! People 
as miserable as the 2 of you sound, (my interpretation), deserve
each other!Have to disagree with you on the "discussions vs. 
personal attack" thing....If you go back and read what what Mr. 
"r" wrote towards the very end of his post, he more or less 
implied that I'm a _bitch_ or at the very least, that's all I can 
do is go around _bitching_ all the time! That to me, I took as a 
personal attack! (I don't think I'm alone on this subject....I 
read all the posts, and quite a few individuals agreed that he had 
_no_ rational reason for making such an accusation!)
