Maybe you should comment on Hugh distorting what I said for his own
purposes (i.e., attacking Ms. Rather) instead of directing more people
to reply to me?  That would seem to be fair.  It's not like Hugh's
never here and unwilling to respond to or rant about anything and
everything.  He's always looking to "delegitimize" Ms. Rather.  I'm
pretty sure that after that other truly hateful guy left after spewing
out decades worth of verbal abuse, that Hugh is the only one who posts
here, who doesn't seem to like it here.  Why would someone enjoy being
in an environment they dislike?  Why would someone enjoy being among
company they dislike?  Misery loves company, I guess.  Rick, do you
like Hugh's rants?  I seem to recall you don't, in general.  So, welcome
to the misery.  AISI, *your* choices are to 1) encourage Hugh to move
on to something more positive and meaningful, perhaps leading to his
happiness (and possibly ours), or 2) deal with it and accept the
anguish (and become depressed), or 3) leave.  Why bother suffering?
