discussion - then why do you not only keep it going, but morph it in 
different directions?

And so have I. But I've never claimed to be one.  In fact, it would seem 
that you're the resident "expert" here.

You "must" be the expert here, Bob - you post more and on more subjects than 
any other list member - by a considerable margin.

Uh - Bob?  By your definition, an "expert" is a dirty word that  describes 
anyone who says or does anything that disagrees with you. What you miss is 
that if all those "experts" are wrong, then that makes you the "expert".  If 
it's a dirty word, then you need to look in a mirror.

You've obviously made a valiant attempt to become the at-l "expert" on 
"everything".  After all, It's you who answers "every" thread that gets 
discussed on at-l - even when you know nothing about it.  To the point that 
you've been known to answer a query by saying that you don't know anything 
about the subject, BUT....

Tell me, Bob - why do you think that kind of post is necessary - or even 
desirable?  Why do you feel it necessary to increase the traffic on the list 
like that?

Anyway - you don't seem to have remembered my definition of an "expert" -

Ex - is a has-been
Spurt - is a drip under pressure

Did you "really" want to be the at-l "expert" on "everything"?

:-)))

Walk softly,
Jim
