No, you can't, John. Apparently you are disatisfied that every
Canadian or member of the Blacksmith's egroup are not bowing down to
you in awe by now, so you've brought your ego here - again. As you
have already expoused, none of us here can ever hope to achieve your
accomplishments or rise to your lofty heights, so I don't know what
good presenting your arguments here will do. If you're looking for
someone to agree with your every word then I'd suggest starting your
own egroup and letting in only Bill and the anonymous third person
who always agrees with you and Bill.
