   It's more fun when other people are there to point out any   
   inconsistencies I may have missed, and I can't put out the sheer volume   
   of posts that Snit can. I don't have the time.   
      
   Regardless, there has been another Rick that occasionally posts to the   
   other newsgroup who often argued with Edwin. Might I suggest you add the   
   initial to your last name (provided it isn't H!) if you are going to   
   post UI related posts there in order to distinguish yourself from him.
