Michael,

I agree completely with your approach. And I would like to point out that my approach when I encountered this situation was to listen politely. Only later, speaking here to my friends and associates, did my thoughts spill over.

Your approach, Michael, to gently educate and persuade is the right thing to do. It's right if you care about the person. There have been notable times in my life when I have been "gently set straight." This has occurred on any number of subjects, and on occasion by perfect strangers. I always considered it to be a gift.

It's a little hard to predict what subjects will strike a cord. I would like to propose a truce regarding this subject. I'm going to crack open a COMPLETE Pepsi, loaded with sugar and caffeine and toast you all.
