I admit my comments on this thread have been critical of your ad hominem attacks on others as well as on me.  I make those remarks in an effort to encourage you to address issues rather than just make those crude, nasty personal attacks which so often characterize your posts. 

 I do address a lot of issues which interest me.  Some may be interested in my opinions and views, some may not be......that's life....I understand that.  Some may voice agreement, some may voice disagreement and offer a counter-argument or other view......that's life too.  However, almost without exception, those who respond to my posts are civil and respectful, whether they agree with me or not.  I appreciate that.  However, you and GBA are chief among the "exceptions" who respond with ad hominem attacks rather than a civil discussion of issues.  I will confront those attacks   If you really don't "care" about my posts....it easy....just don't read them.  regards, Gary
