I guess that must have been me Stuart as I can't think of another person that would both recommend looking at the Timeline to find an answer and to do it in a testy manner. Maybe it's time for me to get
those Bruce Gordon style pins made, "Chuck Schmidt was rude to me!" to send out to the CR list?
As far as goading CR regulars into responding to posts? Most have learned the hard way that there is no percentage in it. The Japanese
adage goes, \u201cThe nail that stands out gets pounded down.\u201d So you
learn not to stick your neck out by posting anything. But of course,
balancing that adage is this quote from Ben Franklin, "It is Ill- manners to Silence a Fool, and Cruelty to let him go on."
I of course, would be the ill-mannered one.
