If I talk to you, I talk to you plainly directly. You speak honestly to me. In that honesty is truth. Let someone else decide if we are phantoms or not. That doesn't concern me one bit -- for that other is most likely a phantom and its commentary is useless air. RWE is saying to me that he will speak straightforwardly as is, and not with concern about being consistent with an imagined position taken yesterday.

You'd think that having no before and after, consequences of what we say and do wouldn't matter. Yet, that's not exactly the way it is. Seems like it's all tied together so completely, that tying isn't necessary in the first place. Good hearing from you, Bob. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
