alpacinofan,

First: If I took personally the lack of replies to some of my posts, and worried about whether or not I 'fit in' - both here and elsewhere - then I would be far too sensitive to make it on an e-list or message board.

Second: If you saw some of the replies I've gotten (and given) in the past, you'd know that sometimes NO reply is preferable.

Third: Though you've got 30 posts to your credit, I've noticed very few of them so I cannot even imagine what subjects you've brought up that generate so little interest.

So just enjoy yourself and keep trying. This thread right here has gotten you enough replies to soothe your ego for a couple of days!!

And remember..."It's not personal, Sonny; it's strictly business."

Best,
Apple

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
