Alfredo,

I have learned more than a few things from your posts. I would not be so hasty to consider me either smarter or better educated. If I post anything half-baked or just plain old wrong, you are welcome to skewer me for it.

I genuinely like just about everybody. I don't like people who go out of their way to harm others for personal gain or who knowingly do so to impose some ideology on others. Other than those few, I find just about all of us very likable. Received on Thu Apr 20 2006 - 17:24:25 CEST
