NWA pilots haven't surrendered, and that is the only thing that you're interested in.

Come on, Carl, "studies have shown...."? To put it bluntly: What kind of dismissive B.S. is that? Very weak, Carl, and uncharacteristic of you. To cite "studies" to justify ignoring questions and comments that might be in opposition to your viewpoint is (...for the purposes of this august institution known as A.P.C. forums...) somewhat pedantic or doctrinaire, Carl. (yeah, I should know!
) Why don't you simply say: "Wiggy, we've agreed on very little in our exchanges, so when we disagree, let's just agree to disagree" or "Wiggy, I'm tired of arguing back and forth on these (somewhat) trivial topics, let's give it a rest." rather than: "Wiggy, I can read your mind and you don't 'listen to' or 'hear' my viewpoint, -therefore you do not deserve responses to your questions and comments." Now, on a lighter note, I see you've come off DOH a little bit, good!...welcome over to the
real world of ratios, dude! (you'll be much happier here)....... just kidding, Carl..(
) Dynamic lists... sounds complicated...I'll have to think about it for a while...It wouldn't surprise me if our negotiators might be talking about it, too. It might be familiar ground to them if the rumors about last March are true.....
(....
now, let's see, how can I, personally, get an advantage through dynamic lists?
