i've refrained (although difficultly so) from meddling in in these discussions, but as many other -AT--list participants already expressed : Dave, your mails are becoming extremely irritating. You sound like those stupid dogs who can't let go a fleshless bone. I'm failing to see the point why you attack people (and yes you attack them personally - not only what they write) you don't know. I'll raise this again, because indeed it is important, since the "affair" with heather your mails have an extremely sour smell. But since you are so much older and wiser than i am i can't expect you to listen to my advice. But hell, i'll give it anyway. Take some distance. There so much more to life than being "right".

Love to you and Keri,

Erik
