Before???
I've been around a LONG time, Bill.  I actually lurked here for over a 
year before I ever posted.  I don't seem to recall your posts back in 
the mid-90's..were you on the list then?

Don't flatter yourself.  In all the years I knew Tvo, he never demeaned 
anyone's question.

It really has nothing to do with you, although I do have some old

I admit that over the years, I've become a bit more punchy..but, I'll 
bet if we take a poll as to who is the most antagonistic, I'd think you 
would have me beat in that superlative.  Maybe not by much, but still...

And that's a perfect example of the antagonism I mentioned above.

No need.  I've been here, I know that politics are a way of passing 
time, but it has always been, and always will be, a HOMESTEAD list.
Have a good trip out of the city, Bill, perhaps you will relax a bit 
once you get to Oregon.
