Thanks for another great post, Ivan.
For those unsure of the origins of the portions marked in red, perhaps a standard sort of boilerplate note at the end of the posting would help. Something such as "[For emphasis, portions of the original posting have been highlighted in red by the poster, MadIvan]".
Or something like that.
You're greatly appreciated here. An old song says it best: "Don't change a hair for me. Not if you care for me."
By the way, Many months ago Blair made a statement which I'll have to paraphrase. He said that he liked Bush better than Clinton because he knew Bush. was telling him the truth.
