Branko,

You can say that again. Funerals are probably what it will take unfortunately.

5000 words. That's funny that someone counted them. For me it was 45 minutes of cell phone typing on the bus/cab/car to the airport.

Much of this crowd is afraid of open forum and frank talk.

They shouldn't be. It's healthy. I have nothing to hide. Neither should anyone else hide their feelings. That's the problem, many of the good old boys have deep passions, but they are afraid to debate. The RC is a system of control for them.
