Ah, now I understand who all the fuss is about! "Mr." O'Brien
Please just write this joker off. I had a series or communications with him
a short while back about his lack of vision and openmindedness. I found him
to be very narrow minded and ,,and trust me on this one,,, will never change
his opinion. He uses unsubstatiated arguments and just loves to argue,,,
that is why he writes such drivel,,
The man is a looney,,
