[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5957559, member: 54877"] Well, part of the point of that silly chicken and pork thing is that the "Friend" is missing something that is very obvious to "You" in the conversation, but still hasn't gotten it by the end of the conversation. So you aren't alone, here. It's kind of hard to talk about how to make what you want work, when the other side denies that what you want even exists--or alternately, asserts that they are providing it, when they demonstrate at the same time that they don't understand it. In any case, I appreciate your effort to get it. I wish I could explain it better. Or maybe I can, indirectly, but this topic is not the one to attempt it, because it drags in so many other issues. Suffice it to say here that my contention is that KM's proposal is not bad as far it goes, but suffers from the key presentation flaw that it doesn't cover nearly as much ground as he thinks it does. So I'll bow out of this one now. [/QUOTE]
