David on David......
Thanks for the even headed repsonse to my response. Just want to
make sure that it's clear that I'm not saying one can't bve direct or
challenging or confronting in forums such as this....just be sure that
the challenge is on the idea, not the person.
I'm all for a good challenge to anything i post :o)
it's all good.
Shalom
