To a certain extent this is true (and has gotten me in trouble several times elsewhere - I won't get into the gory details)... however, in this particular case I didn't intend to have people take sides between myself and Sue, simply to discuss our seemingly opposite philosophies. I truly didn't want to start a fight, just a discussion. I thrive on discussion of controversial topics and listening to people's strong opinions on things MUCH more than I thrive on *personal* conflict. I don't like fighting with people... but I love to wrestle with ideas :-) -- My web site starts at http://www.serv.net/~fewtch/index.html - lots of goodies for everyone, have a look if you have the time.
