Davey - One or both of us is not getting the point.  Perhaps it's 
'Last-Word'ism, or 'I'll Stop If You Stop'ism, but, without an 
emoticon, this is some snide crap.  (See how I up the ante and lower 
the level of discourse, all at once?)    "Stop whining"?  Are you 
talking to me?  Where's the whine.  I just explained to you why your 
previous post could be, intended or not, viewed as provocative.  And 
what do you do?  You artfully craft another.  That's fine, but don't 
pretend that it's others who need a life if you can't avoid provoking them.
