Larry, I don't think you could ever really annoy me, I have been saying go Larry
to much on your responses, even with the pink elephants. :)

Oh, it does go around. I get frustrated with unnecessary tangents, ones in which
Jeremy seems to strive on.

Yes, but he had the original posts, and the points were made, clarity was added
when asked, and most of them still went ignored. That is what got to me, I
guess.

I do as well. I try to avoid some, and then get sucked into it again!

Well, I happen to believe in God (Not to force it and debate it with you, Larry,
I got your point a long time ago! :) ) , but I tend to think pink elephants are
mostly Republican (Or elephant heads, as you like to call them) women who like
to wear pink! ;)
It is frustrating sometimes to be twisted out of context so much, and then gloat
how wonderful the twisting is. Thanks for the post, Larry, I feel much better
now. I think I will indulge my ABS fix tonight, however!
