    @david s

    Thanks for the kind reply. You may not like me so much if you were to find out my political preferences for this election, though. So maybe you will want to take a deep breath before clicking on my letter history, where it's all laid out, in plain view.

    In any case, I'm not ashamed of my views and will defend them at any time. It's the flaming and illogical comments/replies that drive me up the wall -- but those I just ignore.

    So, until the next episode of this gripping political saga, I remain.

    Respectfully yours,

    -- red

    :-)
