Not in any attempt to play Moderator here, but you have a very legitimate point, smvoice. You did exactly what is required when you posted the source INCLUDING the page number. What cracks me up sometimes, is we get criticized when we post links from the Internet - mockingly calling it the "Googlesterium" - and not from real "books", implying we only do research from the net unlike "real" students. But then when we post references from "real" books, there are those who do Googlesterium searches and then insist we got the info from the first link that pops up, as if they were the ONLY sources!

I hope it is obvious that there are some here who will object to everything that puts their sacred tradition in any light but stellar, but will pull out all stops to do nothing BUT heap insults and criticism on anyone else's. I wouldn't let it bother me if I were you, but consider the history of those who try to muffle anything negative EVEN when it comes from their OWN sources.

Thanks boatbums. I scrolled back a bit to get a sense what was going on - couldn’t understand the accusations. So thanks for shedding some light on it for me.

Can you say *hypocrisy*.

Condemned if you do, condemned if you don't.
