Well, I saw this thread this afternoon, and witnessed the "gang" do their usual troll tactics.
I also read with interest the threads that were on Free Republic when this issue was new and breaking.
You have most certainly held up well and most certainly are not the one blowing smoke.
Thank you both for your kind words of support. I will not let dissemblers, shape-shifters or name-callers who construct sentences that sound like something from Lil' Abner get me down. Thanks again! ; )
