It's always a good idea to read everything that the posters write so you don't seem so stupid and repeat what someone else wrote. The problem is that some posters are just so garullous that they write more than they have to and they waste your time by writing so much. As one of my graduate school professors said, "If you can't say something simple, don't say it at all. No one will ever pay attention." In my half century of existence on this planet, i concur with everything that educator said.

No, you just have both kinds...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

So that "non-western music" they were always goin' on about back in kollij was actually country? Dang ... that makes it easier -- thanks! Gotta get down to Branson some time and catch one-a-them Balinese gamelan orchestra things ... "them're good!" :wink:
