Sorry, Southack, you seem to forget that you did just that to me - saying that I had claimed that incomes were dropping when I said no such thing (but, as irony would have it, the very statistic you cited showed that net incomes did indeed drop). And as for not leaving this thread, I said I was through with you - but since you persist in your completely inane ramblings, I still feel compelled to answer a couple of them. And, like I told carton, I save insults for when they are appropriate to a particular poster. Most folks here I had just a fine debate with. You, however, didn't even begin to recieve the derision you earned.
