Ray,

I have great appreciation for this list.

I do not consider defending myself to be abuse.

Let's just let this thread wind down as it already has.

I know those who take their careers seriously agree with me.

The posers and crybabies were offended, but they are usually
offended by everyone who dares to have an opinion.

Regards,

D.
