> BobAs frustrated as I might get with people at times, I actually really wouldn't want it any other way. If I only had people that thought the way I do, then I would not get challenged, stretched as a human. I needed to add my sarcasm disclaimer -- I hope you know that I only half meant for that "reality." I should have known that someone would have a solution where you could screen out any person that makes you uncomfortable. Like many in our country would like to do right now -- but you lose so much in that process. I am glad that you have never chosen to add such a feature, and no matter how the masses may clammer for it, I hope you never do.
