These old-thread revivals are starting to get really confusing. Why is anybody "replying" to seattlesetters? He hasn't even logged onto the Campfire for over a year.
John it's so everyone can express a thought without appearing to talk to anyone in particular....kinda like talking out loud to ones self.
That way no one can think they are in an argument because they are talking to no one;or someone who isn't here.
