You don't= like that I guess - so why not talk about something you know something abou= t...... like pianos. Stick to what everyone comes here for, and there won't = be any hostility - unless you happen to like Wurlitzer spinets or something.= ... </BLOCKQUOTE> Larry, Let's face it, one person's "balanced and sincere" line of reasoning is = another person's irrational rhetoric, no matter which side of the soapbox yo= u happen to stand on.  You think liberals are wacko, and most of them p= robably see you the as out in left field. What cracks me up is how everyone says, "let's talk about pianos," then = tosses in a snide remark geared toward making the opposing opinion look bad = as a parting shot, as if that's somehow going to be the last word.   Avery, hate to see you go.  Hope your real-life issues are resolved= soon.  Been there, signed off more than once, but I always came back. =  I hope you do too.
