What you say: "Well guess what.... the levers are gone."

What some hear: "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!"

FWIW, I think it really is strange to go after Wilms for HCPB advocacy, when he has been as vigorous as anyone in criticizing the HCPB hard core.

The lever discussions here careened right past strangely intense to surreal. I used to think that I have virtually infinite patience for psychodrama, but I've learned that that isn't remotely true. I'm curious what the forum will be like at this time next year.

        - Oh my. More misleading posting.  Wilms   Apr-18-10 10:46 PM   #8 
           - Don't blame me; you hijacked your own thread by bringing up HCPB. It started out as a question...  Yellow Horse   Apr-19-10 12:41 AM   #9 
              - If I followed what happened:  Wilms   Apr-19-10 03:43 AM   #10
