    Thanks for reading over the thread again, I know it must have been less than "fun", eh?

    You request that "we" knock it off, and that is very good advice. I told the other fellow a long time ago that I would appreciate it if he never mentioned me again and that I would do the same. He took that as a signal that he could attack day after day all thread long without worrying about a response.

    Today, I decided it was enough. It is all up to him, because I refuse to be the punching bag anymore. Well, more to the point, it is up to the boss. (GG)

    I will say that your last response was a good one. Thanks for that.
