Mike, I haven't had a chance to read all the arguments yet, but knew at a glance that the arguments were on my Carpenter list! One thing we all seem to have in common is a strong conviction that we are right, regardless of the issue or the facts! One of my Carpenter relatives once laughed at my Scandinavian relatives for their conviction that they are individually always right, and I told him that, coming from a Carpenter, that was strong praise, indeed!! :--) George --- George R.
