Congratulations on your third post to the list. I like the way you
capitalize your emphasis. I hope you mean what you say, say what you mean.

Chris,
I guess my views were not taken in the way I intended! I should have
used
GENERALIZED terms. BTW, I didn't blame anybody and NEVER DID I! And I
didn't
intend to make it look like a political joke. I just wanted to give my
points.
I have read many of your postings. And I respect you for all your HELP &
ANSWERS.
Anyways.... if my posting had hurt somebody, I apologize.
It's my mistake, when my posting says "IGNORE" the unwanted things, I
should
have ignored when people argued on something unrelated to me. Another
lesson
in my life, but it's for my good. Teaches me more about human relations.
Thank you,
With due respect,
-Ammu
