Tony, there *are* some of us who do understand what you're talking about
and aren't looking to use your choice of words to harass you and provoke
needless argument.

If I may say so, the epithet "Tony the Thick" used recently against you is
one you can turn around and wear with pride. Not thick-headed, like you're
a dummy, but thick-skinned, as in you get hit with all kinds of crap here.
Yet you maintain your balance and your convictions and continue to
contribute to the group in a healthy way. I admire you for that.

Here's to Tony the Thick(-skinned)!

I'm Mike--James' Dad, hence "JamesDad". I use this nym in memory of my 
son James Webb (1992-2000) who died fighting leukemia. He was a greater 
man at 8 than some ever become. May his life, battle and story never be
forgotten! More info at <http://www.themiraclekids.com/mem-james.htm>.
