Wayne and Gerry: Since you don't read my posts, I can feel free to call you 
a couple of jerks. Cowards too. If Mike got such an email as he describes 
here, insulting his wife, etc., he would clearly have a right to be upset. 
The cowards on the Jim Strong list consistently insult Mike behind his back, 
calling him insane, etc. I used to think Mike was a bit rash, but he 
certainly is no more vicious, belittling, and wacko than you two!
