He had spoken his piece, we had said we respected it, and tried to just move on. I also felt that the thread was getting diluted in our repeated attempts to get him to join in or butt out. I felt that the discussion that we were trying to have was becoming too cumbersome for someone to just pick up, and therefore wasn't going to get as many people chiming in and as many different viewpoints as we wanted to solicit. </p><p><br /></p><p>If that's tilting at windmills, then you tell Cervantes that I am his man of La Mantia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
