RE:
Message 1It seems to me that he conflates several issues. Like Clint Eastwood, He is a Legend in his own mind. I never personally had a problem with Mike as a one-on-one conversationalist. Still, I DO note that he often hits and runs...which stifles any effective communication in our Forum.
Perhaps Mike will see this offshoot topic (since his initial topic won't ever get promoted) and discuss something neutral with us like how the weather is or even global warming.
