No point trying to explain an alternate view. Seems the lines are drawn and
nothing more than 2 bit wreckers. I'm done discussing this any further as
the point is lost. Some feel they are right and must belittle others to
prove their point. Why people cannot drive using a view they feel
comfortable with I will never know. If a server is***pit only then that
less of a driver then I take issue but from now on I don't care. To each
his own.
