What the hell are you talking about??  Craig, "will YOU please stop
assuming you can read people's minds and know their motivations?"
Who's a competitor?  It's like you're replying to some other post.
I'm simply agreeing with Dan42 and BlueWillow the same you are free to
agree with whomever you choose.  If you have a problem with that, too
bad, nothing I can do about it.  I don't  bash you when you agree with
someone, I expect the same in return.  Thank you.
Randy
