[Shotimes] Pontiac unveils SHO successor?

[Donald Mallinson]

Dave,

Yes, better to leave this than watch you take it to an even 
more personal level.

I am confident in my thoughts on this, and with the sources 
of information.

As for RWD experience, I have plenty.

In any argument, there are always two sides.  There are 
usually some grey areas where there can be at least a little 
meeting of the minds. I have found a few, and I thought we 
had some communication, but not now.

I don't get spoken to by Jesus in dreams, why would you 
bring that up?

Where the problem lies is you seem to think it is wrong for 
me to stick to my guns (I "ain't always right") and yet the 
same could be said for you.  Dave, what makes you believe 
that YOU are always right?

I do love collecting knowledge.  Part of that is being open 
to a variety of thoughts and fessing up when wrong.  It also 
means I don't back down when I feel I am right.  I feel 
correct in my basic thoughts on this, and it has nothing to 
do with my job or history with the community, my dreams, or 
trying to match wits with you.

The last resort of a weak argument is the personal insult. 
And you have taken this to that point without supporting 
your argument.

That is where I get off and move on.
