Susan, with all due respect, I believe you misunderstood me. I was
ASKING for agreement by asking "How about if we just end this thread?"
I didn't intend to tell anyone essentially "to shut up". By the way,
the *minority* on this thread is me, by at least 3 to 1 against my
positions by my recollection.
IMHO, however, those who have participated have pretty well covered all
sides of the issue. But, I certainly could be wrong and perhaps
shouldn't have been concerned about belaboring the thread. I'm sorry
you took my attempt to move on as objectionable. However, if you
perceived that I didn't think much of the complainers' arguments, you
are right. I don't think I convinced them I was right, either. So, is
there anything else anyone wants to discuss on this thread? I'm kind of
worn out, myself. Alan
