But it wasn't the basis. It was a signature line. I think that
both you and Greg (and everyone else) understand what Churchill meant by his
quote: "When the eagles are quiet, the parrots begin to jabber." Not too
much to discuss, let alone base a discussion on. Again, I intend no
offense; I'm just trying to figure out the need for irrelevant posts.

I don't think it's necessarily newcomers per se, but anyone who has
ill-supported posts or topics is bound to be argued with. Rightly so. This
ML is supposed to be for "...well thought out, extropian discussion." If
it's not well thought out or extropian, don't post it. If there has been
any 'nastiness', I don't think it was intentional.
Ingredi Externus!
