[Mermaid]Loki, do you remember a brief discussion we had on this very same
topic last May??? <Remember my comment? Remember your response?...Well...it
seems like somebody else DID put their money where the mouth is and we STILL
have our feet shoved inside our mouths and some of our heads up our most
secret and tender orifices...and Dick Ridge today expressed his desire to
rub cheeks...hmmm..I hope he meant the ones on the face...we still enjoy
preaching to the choir...glowing in the warmth of fondly crafted delusions
of grandeur and illusions of intellectual superiority...chasing away
potential members and flogging the dead donkey on which God rode on...some
things...I tell you...some things never change..>Anyways...this means that I
was right..*You* were right!! It is not constitutional. The IRS criteria
*is* leaky afterall!! The 14 point checklist is worthless!!
