after talking with gary shelton about reading this thread, here is what he had to say,lyall after spending 35 years educating people here is what i suggest that you tell them...

In other words, Gary Shelton did not read this thread, and does not know what was said here, apart from what you told him. Because your own responses here have been characterized by hasty reading and heated reactions, I can only guess that what you told him was not very accurate, which kind of invalidates the whole exercise.

Under the circumstances, what Gary Shelton told you was sensible enough, but doesn't really address anything written in this thread. However, please thank him for his time and concern. I appreciate them.
