Thanks Brian!

I knew I was not misreading his posts.  I tried to be civil and even
agree with him that his suggestion is better, easier and more elegant
but that did not work.

I too use qualifiers even if application is meant to be used on a single
company.  I like to think of the bigger picture and anticipate all 
possible scenarios.  I think I listed a few valid points but he just
trash them as irrelevant and signs of how clueless I am.

This is his true form.  He accuses me of one that hungers for respect
and yet, he is the one that lashes out the moment someone disagree with
him.

I am sure that like you, others can tell the difference on what went on
these past few days.
