Hah! Beautiful work, Dave!

Yes, Dave is right-- it seems evident here, Scott. I know you guys always
disagree and you'll never convince each other to see an issue the same way
so just agree to disagree. The world does not revolve around anything that
anyone says on this forum anyway. Who gives a rat's ass?

We are always passing judgement, whether we post it here or keep it in our
heads. I'm pretty sure some LUGNETers think I'm some arrogant, weirdo,
vegetarian hippie dude who won't kill bacteria and thinks the United States
and Israel are the great Satans of the earth. Who cares? This forum is
equally filled with great statements and bullsh*t statements, depending on
how you look at it. Let's just try to be gentlemen about it either way.
