What does that have to do with vacations and how many vacations does that even apply to? |

What does that have to do with vacations and how many vacations does that even apply to? Maybe skiing. Sonny Bono, for one, made that connection. |

It was so profund, even I, the great, didn't grasp
the full signifigance. That doesn't happen often. The rest of it, made sense. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "DerbyDad03" wrote in message ... If you have to ask what it means, why did you say that you found it "profound"? |

That depends almost as much on the vacation sctivities as "there is a lot of wood in a tree". I just got back from a week on the Outer Banks of NC. Not only didn't I need any shoe polish, I didn't even need shoes. You don't polish sneakers or flip-flops. |

Steve- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Once again, I'll voice my opinion on his "grasp" of the top posting issue. He grasps the concept 100%. It would be next to impossible for him not to, considering how often it's been brought up. Even if he couldn't figure out how to change his newsreader options to bottom post automatically, he could still cut and paste his replies to the bottom if he wanted to. The only logical conclusion is that he is just flat out stubborn and refuses to change his ways. I think he likes the attention. |

I would rather see top posting than to go to the bottom of a whole page of
text to get to one or two lines of text. Learn to cut out what is not needed !!!! "DerbyDad03" wrote in message ... On Aug 13, 4:19 pm, "Steve B" wrote: "DerbyDad03" wrote in message ...
