Lynn,

I had a nice response written up about how it isn't a "yuppie" thing.   But, 
I stopped, and said " no sense saying that here..." Glad you responded...

BTW, the experience I had was with one of the original landowner's 
descendants around here.   Nothing big... but nevertheless, has bothered me 
for the intervening five years....

Does he know he pissed me off this badly?   Would he care?    For James, the 
question is moot.  As time and experience have softened my hard-ass 
conservative nature, I think he ought to know the about the first... As to 
the second, hey I don't expect people to EVER choose the right thing.

Chris
