mr. mephisto,
i did not have your post or your person in mind when i posted the text you responded to. even so, it was nice to hear what you thought. i don't think we're so far apart on this thread as we often are. some of your disagreements were a matter of interpretation or lack of clarity on my part. good thread, keep it up.
