> Ok one last one. It isn’t about winning an argument. It is about how easily control is relinquished to someone who just joined a couple hours ago. You kids are the easiest I have ever seen. Thanks, its been fun getting you all worked up for my own personal entertainment.

It’s likewise been fun removing you from the forum.

I’m going to close this, but if anyone would like to continue some of the discussion that came of it, feel free to make another.
