With this, I'd like to apologize for my response. In retrospect, being critical of _the fact_ that someone likes/dislikes something gets everyone - as we should ALL well know on this list by now - nowhere. A better way to approach it would have been to temper my surprise, and the (in my eyes) apparent sillyness of the reasons for dislike, with a good measure of curiosity and open-mindedness. So, for that, I apologize to all. <a href = "default/cantweallgetalong>Sarry.</a> </endwastebandwidth> On Mon, 10 Aug 1998, Neal Thomas wrote: > > Ok, you're just an ignorant fool.
