When this is the way one answers a simple question, I tend to believe there's no genuine interest in dialog. I am therefore left to wonder who really is the intolerant one. One cannot claim to be tolerant while demonstrating intolerance any more than one can claim to be educated without every having read a book. It's amazing to me the ridicule heaped upon the man for asking a question. Would it have been too difficult to simply answer the question, as the first response did? No, we have to attack the man for having beliefs that are different from our own. Because we're so enlightened? Or because we are even more ignorant than we suppose he is? -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
