>>John, get off your high horse and knock it off.
Why didn't you send this to me in another of your nice private e-mails?
>>It was a joke. I have no insecurity with regard to this topic - and I've made plenty of "community" contributions.
Initially in this message I responded with a similar "joke" at your expense, but have removed it.
>>I think we've beaten this to death. IMO, this thread should be frozen.
It should have been frozen before you pressed the send button. Now that it has become uncomfortable for you, I would have hoped you'd learn something. But you keep doing it.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
