Percy:
To mix my metaphors, I think this thread resembles a soccer match where a rugby player has wandered onto the field and begun tackling players and running with the ball.
You boys are playing the wrong game. You come to a softball game with a wiffle ball bat and wonder why you can't hit a softball more than a couple of feet. Perhaps you think it is a problem with lebensraum? Since you have such a good imagination, imagine what would happen if you went up against somebody playing hardball while you are still playing wiffle ball.
Since you and your minions want to play wiffle ball in peace, I don't want to deprive all of you of your moment of peace. It won't last long.
Oh, one last thing, I want to thank you for your invitation email you sent me several months ago. You even told me which thread you wanted me to post. It saved me a lot of time in determining which wiffle ball game to play in. I am sorry though that I brought softball gear when you were playing wiffle ball.
