Your ability to provide smooth transition of thought transcends reality.  Are 
you agreeing with me or disagreeing?  The original post was little more than 
flame bait, yet you're hailing him as a veteran???  His point was completely 
discredited by his inability to control the mood of the post.  I didn't think 
I had to spell this out for a veteran (*cough*) like yourself.

Again, your thought train seems to have derailed.  It is my humble opinion 
that this forum isn't a place to openly discuss your personal life even if 
others have chosen to attack you in that regard here.  If you're going to 
work it into every post, then you really have no grounds for complaint when 
you get harassed about it on occasion.

Think of it as having to register with the local police when a sex offender 
moves into a new community.  Under those circumstances it's probably best to 
lay low until you can build up some trust instead of blazing into a store 
patting people on the back, kissing their children, and asking for favors.  
Can you understand the metaphor, Dr. Tom?

To whom are you directing this question?  And talk about practicing what you 
preach, WOW!

Let me be the first to publicly request that you PLEASE stop forwarding your 
responses via e-mail.  When I feel like reading some of this drivel that 
plagues comp.sys.apple2, I'll start up my news reader thank you very much.
