... NOW save YOU & me trouble.

I appreciate that. Now if we could just get you to give up SHOUTING. Do you believe that makes your arguments more compelling?

i don't accept the customs of the "worldwidewierd" vis a vis "shouting"/punctuation/general rules of grammar. and it drives the "geek patrol" here NUTS, as it does the English Dept "geeks" at our campus. here, i use CAPS for EMPHASIS & so that certain words will stand out from the rest.

i neither fit, nor intend to fit, the "rules". i know them (i was ONCE an English lit major as an undergrad), but i find MOST of the "accepted rules" SILLY in the extreme, especially since it ANGERS the "lunatics" on these threads. they attack my spelling/punctuation/format/etc,etc,etc as they cannot SUCESSFULLY challenge my facts/research/etc.
