<DIV>I have been reluctant to enter the fray here, but Harold's little
assumptions about me - and Joe's work - has given me pause. This is
the first time I've joined a web-chat and perhaps the last; there is such a
potential for bullying and bragging. Don't you agree, Harold?
As for single-malts and AA meetings, let me say - as Winston Churchill did -
that I've gotten a lot more out of scotch than scotch ever got out of me.
How ironic: my father was named Harold and it's my son's middle name.
