Bible Note: Thanks, JVH, for the vote of confidence.As one who more than once has been called "an interesting guy" -- whatever that's supposed to mean -- and has been dubbed as one to whom there is more to "than most comprehend" -- whatever that also is supposed to mean -- I'm grateful that you at least still feel that my sentences are constructed clearly and unambiguously. But I am having a great deal of trouble trying to understand what an "interesting guy" is and what there is about me that most do not comprehend. I've never been one to be overly fond of speaking in riddles or in trying to decipher the riddles of others. I'd much prefer a writer to come forth and say what he means in clear and unambiguous prose. This forum is no medium in which to use cryptic and arcane innuendo. --Hank |
