You still missed my opening statement. In the net world we cannot possibly
know each other well enough to accept that "my statements reflect only what
I say." Plus, I find it hard to belive that anyone can capture the complete
essence of their beliefs in a single sentence or two...:-)
We all rely somewhat on snippets of opinion stated as being indicative of
the whole opinion. When you recite a piece of a larger opinion that I
have seen expressed here on Team.Net before, then I can be expected
to believe you accept that larger opinion. When you objected you clearly
showed me that you do not. I gave you an apology, clearly that was not
enough...?

Well, let's just say that in my file I have a letter from a couple of
former SEB members who clearly told me that my opinion counts less and
even suggested that maybe I should find something else to go do......
Call me a little tender on that subject....
