Thanks JJ, RM, and BILLW.. lol I appreciate it guys....just wanting to be polite, but you guys are right, I have a right to an opinion, and DO apologize too much.

But, I do think I went over the edge on expressing my opinion without balance. Whats more, the real boilertest is how JohninCt. feels about it. That, he and I are in the midst of discussing like gentlemen, let us NOT speak for HIM ! All in good fun for me, too guys.
Thanks,

p.s. SUZI - Thanks, and I'd direct your attention to the majority of my posts elsewhere, where I feel you will see I try very hard to conduct myself as a gentleman, w/o imposing my opinion, in fact, I have decried in my posts folks who state their opinions as fact, as being the height of hubris, and try to always state IMO, trying to avoid the cloying IMHO, as humble as I feel about them.

Give me a fair read, and I think you will see this one to be a skew - one to throw out in the statistical brew after the apology. It is challenging, the part about my posts being long, its true I am trying to shorten these, however, a dissertation takes a year or two to write at a minimum, and the above took a few minutes ! j/k Lets let JohninCt. speak for himself next time. Point well taken. My regards to you, and your point is truly appreciated. - steve
