We were all being idiots, I think we acknowledge that now, and while I'll stick with MOST of my opinions, I'm basically ashamed to have been a leading ranter in that thread. I'm sorry if it caused you discomfort in any form. Ok, that's out of the way, but now I have a question for you: Have you read any Wilbur Smith books? They rock. They're almost all about South African history, which I find EXTREMELY interesting. You might have different viewpoints on some of the things brought up, however. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. Let bygones be bygones, eh everybody? Later. Edge Thomas, R.
