Right, which was more or less to say that my view was limited. That's fine.
I don't mind constructive criticism, especially from a brother (despite
the 180 in worldview)- how am I to learn otherwise?

It did. I didn't feel defensive. You've made me feel that way in the past,
but not this time.
And I didn't mean to imply that I felt vindicated to attack Peter as I'd
been attacked. I have no interest in attacking anyone. Except pop-singers
that Bruce may like, apparently. And Howard Stern, Tom Daschle, Bill Maher,
etc...
>See you around,
Probably not. I'm too chicken to drive to Ohio. Midnight Oil wil be at
Bogarts soon...should I take the bus? I don't relish the thought...
My so-caled life: friday night off and all I did was read a Cowboy Bebop
graphic novel and correspond with a group of strangers. Now, I have to go
to bed due to an early mandatory store meeting @ McDonad's. *Sigh* At
least the hotcakes are free.
Anyway, it beats being nailed to a tree.
