you know Reg I have had that kind of day too, but I'm not suicidal enough to ask the Krav about his pig-ear necklace. Tis true I have the attention span and inteligence of a gnat, so I cannot get through one of your posts if it has more than 3 lines, but I don't think you're regarded as a long-winded boring fart the way you make out you are. I perceive that like everyone else apart from Brad you find the limitations of your knowledge and wisdom surface here at some point and have two choices - aspire to higher knowledge (through me) or sink into existential despair. Which is it gonna be: the dingo -  or are you too gonna walk the plank (keeping with pirate metaphors), we do need to talk about America sometime Reg cos you been sold the big lie and I gotta let you down gently - there is no such place as America the home of the brave and land of the free - it was all a bad dream.
