I think you're a tough cookie , Nar. To be in the army you have had to be tough and thick skinned by necessity. I agree with Quirky that we are all different and I think that that is a good thing. I am grateful to all the tough cookies in this world who do the stuff that I know I could never do. It's not about " right" or " wrong "......it's about not being clones.

I admire your scientific knowledge and ability to reason. I know you are far more intelligent than I in these areas. You are also very funny sometimes .

I admire you but I don't want to be like you. A time may come when I will have to be tough for my own survival.......who knows ? When that time comes then, by necessity, I will change.

On this forum there is absolutely no need to be so " heavy duty" with me.(and that goes for Jim too and to a lesser extent, Nik )
