I am beginning to think this may be aimed squarely at me, if so, then
come out and say so. I think Mitt may have taken exception to the word
'moron', gasp, I said it again. Only problem is Mitt, where I come from,
it means a stupid or foolish person and can anybody argue that John
Hughes isn't either of those?

People may say that I shouldn't answer his posts, but that would mean,
if somebody reads the thread, that what he is saying is true, but it isn't.

If this wasn't aimed at me, then sorry for the noise.
