Chas.....

I just now read this.

Now, what I'm interested about is how you arrived at that conclusion?

Perhaps you skipped over the previous line which reads:

"For those of you who are going to argue my point...this is MY opinion. I’m not saying this is the way it should be, but that this is the way I would prefer it to be."

You write: "Everything seems to be about how YOU see it"

Me: “much of what I write IS about how I see it...no different than anyone else in this room.”

You write: "how YOU prefer things to be"

Me: "absolutely correct...I was never a follower. I think a lot and I express my views a lot. Again....no different from anyone else in this room."

You write "what YOU want SZ to be about"

Me: "May I ask what is wrong with that?"

You write: "in other words, YOU, YOU, YOU. The world in general and SZ in particular, has no obligation to conform to what YOU want."

Me: "If you look at my postings, I don't believe I ever demanded that the SZ "conform to what I want." If YOU feel it does, then I'll have to be more careful about how I "word" my postings from now on."

In real life, I'm actually a very open-minded individual who enjoys viewing and debating an issue and hearing the viewpoints of others (the qualifier being when they're not laced with hostility!).

Lucky
