Denis;

We could have all the Bob family - Joe Bob, Billy Bob, Johnny Bob, Little Bob and all the rest. By the way - they are all related - their mothers and fathers are all first cousins. That is a tradition in the Bob family – even though there are certain risks such as mental retardation that are inherent in such relationships.

All kidding aside I understand your point. I think the “hard liners” would never succumb to speaking with any degree of negativity as “Big Brother” is watching. He is in your computer right now and knows everything you are doing. We have to be careful or a virus might erase our hard disks for saying the “wrong thing”.

Well, excuse me as I was just funning ya. That is Bob talk by the way.

:)
