JP, thank you once again. I believe that you only win an argument by persuading someone of your point of view. You have to answer their reservations. And calmly. If you shout, you might bash them into submission, but you won't win the argument. You might make it worse. Your honey metaphor is a good one, but I'm not trying to trap you into my point of view by any subterfuge, I'm trying to make you come across willingly. It's the only way as far as I'm concerned.

Again, yours,

Dave.
