Well, I know where I was. Gainfully employed and not wasting my employers 
time on frivolous persuits. I sometimes wonder what several of these working 
hours responders do for a living or are they just wasting their employers 
time.

Now happily retired I need a place to get some entertainment, offer 
assistance when possible, as well as learn something new.

I too do not like the name calling but Ive never been one to roll over and 
stick my butt in the air. I often respond in like manner which rarely gets 
another response from the intended respondent. However it sometimes 
generates a response from those who cant control their urge to offer their 
own unasked for opinion and just continue the unpleasantness as even more 
join in and it starts to approach the intensity of a political convention.
