Chris...and whoever else...

I may be in the minority here...but I loved those threads.Passion is good.Even when there is no answer...questions are good.I agreed with amost everyone on that thread at some point....and I disagreed too.

Personalities be damned.....it was informative,entertaining and thought provoking.

My life is too precious to waste on getting that wrapped up in such subtleties.

I consider my life too precious for lots of things Hec.Maybe even some things you would spend your time on.Lots of people consider their lives to precious to waste their time trying to train trees.Good thing we're not all the same,I guess.It'd be awfully boring if everyone agreed on everything.

I too miss these discussions...There is a tremendous amount of 'food for thought' in this thread...As usual there is also a lot of 'crap' to sort through to find the 'pearls', but certainly worth while in the long run...

Thanks Mr. Andy for bringing a reminder by bumping this back to the top...

Regards
Behr

Some might say that life is too precious NOT to get wrapped up in the subtleties...
