Hi gnouperdu - I agree with you that it is challenging to live in a community of individuals, and that it is well worth it to learn how to get along with...

Hi Kendall:) Tell the truth (which I do love to do:)), I don't really *know* what was happening. I can only infer. Kinda like judging from sagas sung 300...

Thanks for the interest, Gnouperdu. I've posted on this topic in July, 2002. I think if you read the following posts you'll get the gist of my argument...I...
