<DIV>Well I will put in my 2bits (make that 6 bits) in this interesting thrust and parry. I'm a retired Air Forece Meteorologist (Weather Man). The first course a would be Meteorologist takes is "Thick Skin 101". I've taken abuse from every level of service from lowly Airmen 1C to 3 Star Generals. It ranged from any because the Pilot needed "Weather Time" and there wasn't a cloud within 1000 miles to angry becasue the rain wouldn't stop. </DIV>
<DIV>What I'm saying is that I have no Scars or Bruises. I actually think I enjoy a little tough argument. I'm getting along in years also but every one knows that I'm very even tempered--always cranky.</DIV>
<DIV>When people got on my back about the Weather I just Told Them that I was in Sales and that if they wanted to talk to Management they should go to Church.</DIV>
<DIV>I know there is not much point to the above but I just felt like tossing in my 6 bits worth.</DIV>
<DIV>My Lines are Goodman, Dye, Pryer, and McLane. Iv'e pretty well got them sorted out. The Goodmans of my line were in the Oregon Teritory as early as 1843. I have DLCs on them. Also The Mclanes were in the OT in the early 1800s. The Pryers were late to the the New World.</DIV>
<DIV>I have Certificates from the SDOP for Goodmans, & McLanes Also I certificates from the OGS for the Same.</DIV>
