I really do understand what you're saying, Grateful - rules are rules (as reflected in Terms of Service). All I'm saying is that while I must obey those rules IF I wish to engage in discussions, I still disagree with them. But, the choice still remains with the individual--obey or leave.

For now I choose to obey. And just so you know, I'm such an iconoclast that you guys must be real good at what you do else I'd have been long gone. I do hope, however, that if the time comes when I can no longer contain myself that I will have the good grace to remove myself before others must remove me.

Oh, I'm not sure if I actually asked the question I've been wanting to; namely,

does tombstone mean FOREVER?

Thx.
