Wilbur,
I take issue with your critisim of Peggy. She is one of the top
contributers to this forum. Her expert advise and her vast experience is
of great help to the readers here and I for on, listen very carefully to
everything she says. In this case, your point is well taken, but it does
not negate any of her response. Your critisism does not elevate your
esteem within the group, it only detracts from it. So, if that was your
intent, you have been successful.

I will never accept politically correct speech. My esteem in the eyes of
the group is the least of my worries. Was I not correct in pointing out
how Peggie managed to do everything but answer a simple question? How good
is advice when it's so generic that it doesn't address the issue? Is it
not valid to point out this failing? If she honestly is more interested in
sewage issues than self-image I'm sure even she would admit I speak truly.

Have you noticed that the art of listening to a question and answering it
simply, directly and honestly is a lost art. If you don't think so just
listen to any politician side-step any question and go off on a tangent.
This is exactly what Peggie has done. Her response did not answer the
question. On the contrary, her response insulted the poster's intelligence
by indicating he did not know the difference between a back up and waste
in the ambient water stream. As a man I find this insulting to my gender.
I see no reason to abide it.

FWIW, since I've met Peggie, I can vouch for her feminine status, as
well as her expertise. As for WH, well, what can you say about a
troll. He seems threatened by Peggie somehow...
