I was not referring to me or Doug or anyone in particular. I was
referring to the way you pile on the weak argument. Dave Monroe is half
right, there is a small gang here that piles on a weak or unpopular
position and you are usually one of the gang.  Doug is usually at the
bottom of the pile, but not always. That being said, I can't remember
when Dave defended anyone other than Doug. Want the last turd, take it.
I'm finished with this. I thank Paul for his reply and I invite Jbor to
get his reply in, but I'm finished with this. 

Later,
