Richard,
I do not remember anyone, not even Taran, bringing it to our attention when
it was new-s.
Most of us only find out what Taran is up to when someone takes issue with
something he says. I can't understand why some people insist on being so
obnoxious, all the time.
It is nothing a Dale Carnegie course couldn't solve, but his daddy will have
to pay for that.
