BLESS YOU HERB!  this goes way beyond the current debate
here - I see it on othe "sailing" lists.

When I hear phrases from either side that state others as
stupid, crazy ... I automatically (maybe it is an
instintive reaction for self presivation) tun out the
entire argument.  Perhaps because I worked as an engineer
for too many years, that the nonsense argument, non-logic,
and false logic just make them appear invalid in my eyes.

FWIW, I can see that even while sitting here all doped up
after getting a little oral surgey today.  I hope I spelled
everything well enough for you to find my point.

BTW, about the blessing ... I hope it's not toooo offensive
to the ultra PC folks out there.



HADZ.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; 
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt 
the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends 
on the unreasonable man.
