Me Now:

Bro Allen you have made a few very obvious mistakes in your post.  You
misquoted me and missed entirely the point of my post.  You made all of the
same points that I did and used my post to make them.  I ask that you please
reread the posts you were responding to and a few just before them in order
to better grasp the flow of the thread.  :-)



Yours in Christ,
