   Dreadful shame you opted to tune me out earlier by calling me nasty names.
There are some things above on which I agree with you.  Like everybody else
here, I don't appreciate the non-argument of the nasty names.  Sorry about
that.
   I'm sure you will find some other victim on which to hang your NAZI label.
You might even find somebody ignorant enough and inexperienced enough and
young enough to appreciate it.
Sincerely, 
                                     Frank
