LOL leave it to Fred to turn a profound TRUTH into a quickie :) Seems he has been spending too much time in the woods and the fresh air has perverted him :) Great one here Mr Kelly :) Love PP

It depends on one's perspective, my friend, and I beg to disagree with you. See, there may be no diluting of the facts involved at all but just a short-cut. Plain efficiency. Ever heard of, hmm, a quickie, Sean??? !!! LOL Regards, Fred
