Very nicely put Ed. It's often hard finding the moderate path that 
you mention. But I too feel it may well be the most rewarding. With 
respect to Kevin's position, I feel one should also show a level of 
respect for the self as well as others. Our own families have to eat 
and live also.

Regards to all from an overworked Ron O. The new piano's due to be 
shipped on June 25. It's tight but its happening.
