Every day since I made the mistake of replying in haste I have kicked 
myself for being such an idiot.  I was so wrong to ever start such a 
discussion on these subjects in this arena I can't even believe it.  
I stand guilty of immaturity, and long for the day when I come to work, 
log in, and don't have to see my name connected to any more DOD security 
clearances discussions....on the Internet!

Although the flames were stinging, I appreciate thier intent.

Kent.
