I hope that everyone makes a new year's resolution, like, "I will not
make
ANY kind of response to mxmanic, at all, this year"


OK Jim, you're on : )

I've tried the rational approach with that guy, (it failed miserably)
so in the interest of raising the signal-to-noise ratio in this forum
I'm officially mute..

I try to do the same; but every now-and-then, the Devil taps me on the
shoulder and whispers: "Psst, hey, Pete, ... ".

I'll try harder--that's one of my New Year's resolutions.
