OK...you got me Bob...I should have explained that what I meant in my
earlier post was that the only person I was hearing "PC" from ON THIS
NEWSGROUP was YOU. You've once again completely avoided answering my
question so I'll ask one more time if you'll re-read my post. What does
"PC" mean to you, what is YOUR definition. Why do you insist I'm trying
to trick you? I've now asked you the same question three times and you've
yet to answer it. Perhaps the answer lies in your silence on the issue?
Perhaps there is no "PC"?
Still wondering :)
