I wish that you had simply stated that you didn't think my suggestion would work instead of making the insinuation that I was incapable of seeing the obvious. I don't like your remarks, I didn't like the tone and I think you are lacking tact and class. Yes, there are many times that I have been wrong and I am likely to be wrong about a great many things in the future but that should never be cause for you to be so antagonistic. Craig --
