Well said, Tom. I fully support your original response and your assessment of Holland and his 'contributions'.

I don't think he serves any purpose on GW-L, and personally I'd prefer it if he just crawled back into his slimy pit, never to appear again. That's just my opinion of course.

Hi Ken, Hope you are well. Mr. Holland is a pot stirrer and needs to be dropped from the list. He's been on my blocked senders list for years.
