Wow John, just wow. I try not to participate in these disintegrated discussions anymore -- but really, I think if you take a step back and come back to read the entire thread later, you will see where it sunk into low depths and perhaps give Naomi an apology. Whether or not you were right or wrong is of no consequence when you switch to personal attacks. That's all I'm going to post on it.
