Do you really want me to stay neutral? Then, don't say things that are not
true about Dave or his family, specifically. I've seen proof myself of his 2
sons, his 1 daughter, his wife, and several other things....... It's really
bad form to attack someones family, imo. I've told him the same thing, too,
and also told another fellow on my bbs the same thing when he attacked
another posters family member. I have no interest in any squabbles you have
with him on other topics, and if you looked back you would see my comments
usually had something to do with knowing his family details myself and
posting what I knew to be true.

thanks.. it's raining this weekend here, but thats ok. As long as it's not
tornados or floods, a little rain is a good thing! Right? I know
you're in Canada. Is it still cold up there or has spring come yet?
