Bill: I strongly agree with both you and Laurie, except when you say you
are not a congenial person. You may be stubborn and opinionated, as we
should all be, as long as we are also open-minded and respect other people's
opinions. I reserve the right to dump on Thornbird and Mesmerizer, but not
on another person or the general merits of his opinions just because he
happens to disagree. The old "I may disagree with what you say, but I will
fight for your right to say it" (provided that it comes from a list of
preselected and approved sayings?!?!?!?!)
You seem like a possible fan of Johnathan Swift with your "Modest Proposal".
