 well, Krimel , i have been reading the posting of  you, regarding the DMB/
Steve interaction. To be quit honest, i can see nothing wrong with the
questions made by Steve [David Thomas, actually], nor with the answers
provided by Dave. ...This line of presenting your dish will sharpen nobody's
hunger.....for more. This displays a lesser moment , Krimel.

Thanks, Adrie. That's pretty much how I see it too. You'll notice that
Krimel tends to pile on the insults when he feels most threatened. You can
see that he's desperately searching for any reason to object, regardless of
its actual relevance to the "objectionable" idea. 
He's like the local talk radio host that I used to always call - Mike Rosen.
If he screamed at me and/or hung up on me, I knew he felt defeated.

Ouch, now my feelings are hurt. Apparently my posts have never had enough
substance in them to generate a response from you that ascended past the
level of the illustrations you so generously supplied in the post in
question. I just found it interesting that you seem incapable of rising
above them in your responses to others as well.

Just to save you the trouble of a rely to this I do it for you:

(Sorry, I borrow that last bit from William Peter Blatty. Figured maybe an
exorcist is what we need about now.)
