@glitterbag,
CJ, I actually did put you and Max on ignore, so I'll resist your post that follows mine/ I really can't assume you are responding to me, nor am I flattering myself but you have been quick to respond in the off chance you find it necessary to call me something unflattering. But, I promise I didn't read this last post. Whatever it is it will have to wait, even more honestly, I may never feel compelled to read your manafesto. I see Max as an incredibly semi-lucid broker, but his life experience can't help him because it is so stunted.
I don't wish either of you problems, I'll just be delighted if I can "actually" exchange ideas with people who know how to engage in real life exchanges. So I won't see anything you write for 3 weeks, I won't see Max for just a week, but he could rocket back to ignore depending on what he puts out there.
I don't hate anybody, but my ability and propensity to humor folks like Max are in short supply, I'm only passing this along for prep. I sincerely hope you boys recognize the written words and we can avoid any bile-boiling situations for me. So, the balls in your court, we either play honesty or it will be on. Pick your poison/
