i don't agree with what this guy has said, although i can 
understand why he has said it, but i do agree with him being able 
to post it.  
i'm sorry if that gets me in trouble - i know we are supposed to 
avoid politics on this list - i don't agree with that either, but 
that's what i agreed to when i joined the list.) i'm going to 
respond privately to him, cause i'm not sure that everyone else is 
that interested in politics (shame on you! :-P )
