I think you have a 'hidden' agenda with this post, but it isn't all that well hidden. Your only point was that you have a problem with President Bush, am I right? I thought you were done preaching your political views in this group and we were getting back to the TELECOM Digest.
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Oh, gosh ... you caught me in the act! I don't hide very well, do I? Actually I was discussing the very odious telephone tax and used my own feelings about the very odious and (you fill in this blank) person who occupies the White House at the present time as a good reason for not paying the tax. I suppose I could have divorced the two issues, but that would have been quite illogical wouldn't it? PAT]
