I'm not sure what you're saying here. Maybe you think I should be in one
"camp" or another--sorry. However, what I am saying, in the simplest terms
possible, is that we all have crap in our past and the ToddTodd BS note
posted here on Techdiver, was immature and inexcusable. I have an elderly
friend who lost his entire family, wife, three daughters, Mother, Father and
brothers to the Holocaust. He survived by his ability to speak several
languages and talk his way into the "good" lines each time. He was in six
camps including Auschwitz. His second wife died 10 years ago and he has no
surviving children or relatives. It was chilling last summer to see his
number tatooed on his arm for the first time. Yet he is by all appearances a
happy, funny 80-year-old guy who's only desire is to be liked and to be in
the company of others. The only sign of all that horror is a certain sad
look in his eyes from time-to-time. If anyone has a right to misbehave, he
does.

BTW, the humorless tirades against the WKPP are tiresome, at times pathetic
and very, very old. But the note I refer to was in the same vein only meaner
and even less mature. You should all get over it.

Later,

JoeL
