Equal opportunity windmill jousting just shows a balanced and unpredjudiced view of bad manners. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .of course I could suppose that "bad manners" in a spoiled 9-yr old are on a slightly different scale of significance than when exhibited by a highly educated and at least supposedly respected adult, a "scientist" no less! That would be fair, wouldnt you say? The poor undisciplined and immature 9-yr old just does not know how to act civilized. But then "bad manners" could perhaps be even more obnoxious and worthy of censure in the elder? I do hope that you are not suggesting that "special people" get "special treatment" and the privelege to live unrestrained by the normal standards of allowable personal behavior that must so obviously be sorely constraining the rest of us "average joe's"? 8-) Id really recommend dusting off the old cape though. If there were enough "caped attitudes" out there, willing to confront "bad manners" rather than just tacitly acquiesce, don't you think it might just become a bit more civil and sane place? Anyway, whatever your choices in windmills, make sure that the ones you defend merit the defense as much as the ones you target deserve the attack. 8-) Regards bk
