Glad you liked it! Be my guest.

Cheers, all. I am done with this topic.
I too grew up in the 60s (and it shows!) But the problem here isn't the questioning of authority; it seems to be the mindless questioning of competence. Again, you do not engage in this practice, but quite obviously the people who filed the lawsuit in Hawaii do.

I will also leave this topic and let it drop into oblivion. Unless it comes back again like it did this time.
