back and forth argumentation, which is why I no longer see
most of your posts. Nothing personal, no offense intended.

HTH and HAND.

I’m not leaving. I just don’t read you, or those who engage in

start and contribute to. If the objective of writing is to be read,
I’d think you’d want people to read, rather than avoid your posts.
