Sardonicus,

Moderation, twin peaks, supplemental oxygen . . . decisions, decisions, what's a guy to do? Reminds me of one of the funniest remarks I ever heard. It was on the old Barney Miller police TV show, possibly the only time I ever watched it. One of the cops tells the heroin addict in the booking room lock up cell, "you should stop using heroin; you're gonna' die." To which the addict shot back without hesitation, "so are you!" Question then, is moderation over-rated?

Jeff,

No prob.

TK,

I'm impressed by your sensitivity, coming as it does, from the biggest jerk in this forum. But since you've explained yourself as this type of Christian, accept God etc., but are nonetheless imperfect, I understand there's no obligation on your part for being truthful or any other positive attribute. If you always keep your word, good for you, but should keeping it become inconvenient, and given your religious explanations here, I accept that you've have a convenient out for yourself should you need to reneg.

And since my personal life is not on display here for your amusement, you have no way of knowing whether I kept my word or not; you're merely making the assumption that I did not.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
