Let us both look at this, we both know I have treated you as "one of the
guys" here, I have pulled no punches because you are female; you have not
only taken it in stride, you have taken it well.

Don't feel I do not value your comments, even if my abrasive nature might
lead you to that conclusion.

Because you are female, you are one of the most valuable voices here--it
is just that way, nothing anyone can do about, nor should really (well,
encourage more females so there is something resembling a "balance" here.)

Hang tough girl, ya got what it takes... warm smile

John


Thank you.
