I apologize for being somewhat "flip" in my reply. Sometimes it is too easy to write. Circumspection (being careful of tongue) has always been a struggle for me. Please forgive me for seeming to be disrespectful. Sometimes I try to defend my ideas to zealously. The feelings of respect and mutuality toward others should always outweigh any "truth" that I think I'm promoting.
