I believe you are confirming what I said.  ALL of my postings save the 
first were in response to comments from others.  In fact, the second and 
third messages you quoted were NOT responses to Mr. Hanks.  In the *first* 
response to him I *did* acknowledge his contribution.  Beyond that all of 
my efforts were focussed on getting him to admit that he had overstated 
the significance of his effort with respect to accountability required by 
auditors.  The only reason i continued to be negative was because it was 
clear that he either did not understand or did not accept the only 
criticism I had.

"All"?  Then you are, as I stated, incorrect.

Odd, since you even quoted the message where I gave such an acknowledgement.

Actually my focus has now shifted to responding to you, and I wonder after 
reading the four time-stamped quotes you included, questioning my "clock" 
(whatever that meant), and insisting that I did not say what I actually 
did say, I wonder just who is building that mountain.

I am done.  I have stated what I intended to state.  I have restated it 
when its intended audience did not appear to understand it.  I have 
defended it, I have had my "attitude" called in to question, and I have 
watched as poster after poster has reworded, clarified, explained, and 
expanded on what I have said.  I think this horse is dead and beginning to 
smell.  Good night.
