Smitty says:  Yes Mike we have met that guy many times through the years.
 I used to be rather laid back and apologetic and understanding when
trying to straighten him out.  Anymore I am liable to say something like
how amazing it is after 40 years of opportunities to learn the truth,
people are as close minded and sheep like in following the flock as they
were back in the 60s.  If they raise a verbal protest to that then I roll
out the big guns.  I figure they don't mind alienating me I shouldn't be
concerned with their feelings.  It feels pretty good after so many years
of walking on eggs.
