I think you're backed into a corner on this one Proz.

If you think you have an answer that we won't understand, give it a shot. We
might surprise you.

But right now it looks like you are unwilling to back off from a brash
statement for fear of embarrassment, or clinging to a statement that you
can't back up.

This ain't high school dude.

Nobody's gonna flush your head down a urinal.

Terrance might threaten to, but everybody knows he's a woosy.

Put up, or shut up.

No shame in admitting that you're wrong.

Joe
