Bruce,
If you think you understand what I mean in my words
above, prove it; I don't think you can prove it, I
don't think you understand, I mean, your words above
are cowardly, your statement is a sneer, meant to
convey more than you possess. Every line I wrote above
I assert as fact, based on my education, experience
and understanding; they are my words, I'm not quoting
or recollecting, but confident and willing to take on
all challengers. If you don't understand what I mean
in my words above, you should just ask for
clarification. I have a personal mantra, a mantra I've
held for about eight years, a mantra that could be
said by Shakespeare in a roundabout way, and has, but
since my mantra is direct, I'm claiming it as mine.
But, I'm sharing it with you. Rooty toot toot,
drumroll please...NAMING IS NOT SYNONOMOUS WITH
UNDERSTANDING. That said, step down off your throne,
put down your sceptre, walk away from your magic
kingdom, step into the waters of the Atlantic and look
me square in the eye or soak your head.
Joe Starck,
