Dear Kevin
Now let me think for just a minute... yes, it was you who became quite rude
here just a while back with some other members of our discussion group...
followed by an apology, of course... now you are doing the same with me.
Save yourself the apology to me though for I am not taking your bait. Its
fairly obvious to me now that you are not very well aquainted with the
Metaphysics of Quality, so I will take your thumping with that grain of
salt...
