It's to the point where over half the messages are dedicated to this drama.  I posted a query which I thought might lead to some lively discussion.  Maybe I'll take a break and post again after this has hopefully played out. <BR> <DIV><BR> <DIV><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate"><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate"> <DIV> <DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word"> <DIV>Jonathan Best</DIV> <DIV><A href="mailto:jb@bubblemusic.com">jb@bubblemusic.com</A></DIV> <DIV>928-830-4887</DIV> <DIV>www.bubblemusic.com</DIV></DIV></DIV></SPAN></SPAN></DIV><BR> <DIV> <DIV>On Jul 3, 2008, at 7:28 AM, Michael Kurta wrote:</DIV><BR class=EC_Apple-interchange-newline> <BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate"> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>    Bob, I used to make assesments of others similar to yours.  But I put my foot in it one day when I criticized another who (I didn't know) was handicapped and doing the best they could.  Perhaps its better to just watch and maybe even learn from others before making hasty judgements.  As I said yesterday, judge tenderly.....</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>    Mike Kurta</FONT></DIV></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV><br /><hr />Play now! <a href='http://www.fishticuffs.co.uk' target='_new'>Get fish-slapping on Messenger</a></body> </html>
