     This kind of flame language doesn't do much to make me want to read your
opinions about much of anything. There is an essential meanness, a
pseudo-self-importance implied with it that, once again, says little in
evidence of your maturity. You want things your way and if anything doesn't
go your way, you get insulting. Too much ego. Keep it up and my response will
be to delete anything with your name on it before bothering to read it.

     Did you happen to notice that you are the only person on this list who
uses hyphens?

     I'm curious why someone who shows so little evidence of respect for
anyone or anything else would then expect anyone or anything else to respect
YOU?
