Well, folks, the world is made up of 'other people'. It is inevitable that we associate with others, work, play, love, disagree, fight, support, ... on and on. If we so believe that our way is better than their way, we can either force our way on them or convince them to adopt our ways by more inspiring reasoning. Otherwise, let them be. Remember -- from 'their' persepctive, YOU are the 'other guy'. -- E Archer, NYC
