OK guys, I've been following this discussion (and others) for a while
now.

I've noticed a fair amount of frustration in both sides of the argument
that's drifting into personal invective. Can we all remember that Art
is one of us, he's a regular here ?


Whether you agree with him or not, perhaps we can all treat him with the
respect due to any senior citizen, any veteran and any gentleman that we
meet somewhere.


Don't get me wrong, I'll be the first to call a spade a spade when some
no-name coward chucks **** at someone here, for no real reason, but some
of the comments that have been flying around in this discussion, simply
show no respect.



I guess I'd like us to seperate what he's saying from who is sayng it and
treat Art with a little more courtesy, as is his due.


In turn, Art can take a deeper breath and do the same.




Thank you gentlemen



Dave Kearton
