Hello Micheal...Nobody is calling anyone a "bad man", but if you respect
others, you don't do things to offend them. What may be "in your mind a small
thing" may indeed be core to the beliefs of another, and you need to respect that
in any society. Nobody is trying to preach to anyone else here, or force
any type of religion upon another...all we ask is that you respect others in the
process. The gentleman that made that comment that started all of this
apologized...certainly no harm was meant. But you're right about the fact that
we need to move on, and not get into another long rant like we had with the
XK-3. AW
