I must say that I have found all of your responses recently to be extremely
rude.  Can't you say anything CIVIL when you think that the other person is
obviously some lower form of life?  Your snide comments detract from whatever
arguments you might be making.
    I think you should think a bit more before posting such garbage to the net
again.  Just think about who's on the receiving end of your diatribes.
