Still no posts in my inbox. Veronica, I agree completely with you. I only would add that at least it's against the law to hit women of any age even if it happens all the time. But hitting a child is perfectly legal, even just fine by anybody. It's called spanking and discipline. People learn to hit by being hit as children. It seems a bit awkward to communicate this way, so I'll have to wait until whatever the problem is is cleared up. Andy
