With all due respect John, what you say is true, however it does not invalidate what Tony said about Nate. Basically Nate is talking about something he has no idea about (something he flames Terry for). He, Nate, also does not seem to understand that posting to this thread, thereby continuing this argument, is nearing absurd and suicide will be attempted soon by this poster if this continues. How does one swallow his own tongue??? :-) Time for me to crawl back into the woodwork. >---------- >From: John S.
