Israel

Would you explain how I am purposefully 'mischaracterizing' what you said?
You have put words in my mouth or said I imply things I haven't implied. Regardless, your last post is basically regurgitating what we've been talking about for the last couple of pages. We aren't going to see eye to eye. Let's move on.

And fwiw, the reason I've been a bit blunt the last several posts is it just feels like you and WDP78 are just insulting my intelligence, rather than having a discussion with my peers.

That may not be your intent, but that's how it comes across to me.
