Perspective can be a bitch and we see what we're inclined to see. But,
if you turn your hat around and tilt your head, jus maybe there is
another perspective to consider. I've been guilty of the same sin and

perspective, had you seen he was referring to loyalty to our cyber
country, as opposed to Uncle Sam, then you might have been in agreement.
So, there is that. MY perspective! <grins> :) Ric
