Well, I was hardly accusing you of being a testosterone-laden whatever... You fit more neatly into the curmudgeon slot, and one you wear well. Personally, I prefer Rex's approach to the whole matter. You see a problem, you take personal responsibility, and you fix it - and through patient acts of competently excuted accomplishment, and patient persuasion over time, you change things. A few posts after yours, poo, I mean roo, hits the fan again - that approach yields nothing, gets nowhere, and excites the other adolescents running around with their nether-parts firmly transplanted on their noses, to ever greater, hysterical fits of poking at their preferred windmill - in the end, no matter how much you incite a windmill, you only end up with hot air -- Claude Jones Brunswick, Md, USA
