Excuse me?  I *did* read most of the thread, and I saw nothing that smacked
of anti-semitism.

You misquoted me slightly...I *do* read Doug's posts, and yours, but I tend
to skin through Doug's, because they are somewhat more verbose than yours,
indeed, more verbose than they even need to be!

Who?  If you are implying that I am biased in favour of Doug, over you, you
are incorrect.

(For Pete's sakes, Susan, I was *complimenting* you, you ingrate!  :-)   While
we don't see eye to eye on a lot of issues, at least take a compliment for
what it is! ... regardless of who originates it.)

Well, since you insist on insulting me...  I don't care about your posting
habits, either.  But insulting people who don't agree with you (and you and
Doug have *both* done it, isn't about to make *you* look like Albert Einstein
either!

If you two MUST insult each other, could you please do it in alt.flame or in
private e-mail?  Thank you.
