Yeah, don't they understand that fake nativity scenes, burning incandesant lights, silver colored conifers, extravagant buying of appliances and neckties are deeply rooted Christian values and must be preserved? What, pray tell, does that have to do Santa Clause being required to say "Ha, Ha, Ha" instead of "Ho, Ho, Ho"? hummmm????? Eisboch |

Grammer and spelling were never my strong suits. Most of the writing I did was in technical reports or proposals and nobody that read them noticed or cared much. In engineering, if a word doesn't exist to describe or explain something, you just invent one. Eisboch |
