I would have thought that differing opinions could be discussed rationally and in a friendly manner in this forum. Spirited debate with mutual respect should be possible without vitriolic exchanges. Fortunately, I've noticed that behavior of that sort is rare among this group. I honestly didn't (and still don't) see how the post I made earlier today could have invited such a response. I apologize, though, for any offense I might have given. Dave, I'm not trying to perpetuate anything, but I didn't know that it was or is inappropriate to share our thoughts among this group in the manner I describe above; that is, by extending every courtesy to one another. If all we are supposed to post here is observing reports and pretty photos, no one told me. So, again, I apologize to all.

IMO, this thread needs to end before there is cyber bloodshed. All it will accomplish is to perpetuate the 'Us vs. Them' polarity that keeps this country from its potential. Dave
Personally, I think she is the realist.
