When you come to a waterfall, you portage the canoe. As a team we row to shore, pickup the canoe and carry it to a point past the waterfall, put it back in the water and continue.

I read this before from you. Perhaps you assume I spend my life in front of a computer, but like I said before, who cares. Personally I don't respond to what I think is bullshit. And I am getting better at ignoring personal attacks, but I have a ways to go. One improvement is that I no longer meet an attack with another. My mom would be proud.
