Hello Dean,

I am starting to get the sense that folks are deliberately misunderstanding what I say, just to have at it. Maybe I deserve that. As to common sense, it's like a belly button. Everybody has one, nobody uses it. Einstein said (he really said this one) "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."

As to the *logic* of my argument, let me put it this way. If the smoke alarm goes off in your house, what do you do? Run down the street to see if your neighbor is burning trash in his yard? Pretty good bet the problem is *inside* the house. I rest my case, as it is obvious somebody is going to misinterpret no matter what.
