in defense of by (who really needs none from me), I thought he was expressing a valid point with his subject and merely asking a question (i.e., doesn't this get boring?) in the body--so why is he being singled out for personal challenge?

as an aside, those who are still posting to the main thread, now that it's passed 99 posts, would seem to be either (1) lazy and/or (b) rude. the reason for this judgment is that the 'rule of 99' has been explained recently as well as many times previously. I hope that I'm not missing any non-boring posts therein.
