And riproaringfun, this post, along with your personal e-mail to me, demonstrate your overblown pride and self-obsession. You are the "other messy aspect" here. I do know more than you and I think that is obvious by an examination of our respective actions.

This is why those who know leave those who are ignorant in darkeness. Why bother enlightening someone when you only get punished for it?

You are obviously easily manipulated and entered your first post only to gain sympathy, not understanding. It is even more manipulative that you e-mail me one response, and post another here in the group, don't you think?

It is pretty clear from your bristling, overly sensitive ego, that you got what you deserved. You got sympathy, hours of entertainment and delusion, which is what you want and thrive on. Bravo for Empress Dawn.

However, thank you "riproaringfun" for demonstrating to me the painful lesson of keeping my mouth shut and leaving the ignorant sucker to wallow in his ignorance. It is a lesson I should have learned long ago.

Do you not see how that reinforced my point?
