O_o?  

gomen to the forum if indeed this topic has 
become the debacle i suspect it has.  as it is 
not my intent to push past defending myself from 
attack and laying down my stance on the issue 
(both of which i have done in a reasonable 
manner, and have no wish to now delve into 
pointless repetition) i hereby extend the 
gracious offer to 'quakeking' to take this 
discussion off-forum.  i may be reached at 
whizbang@nastygoblin.com.
