Pete, you really have some issues to work out, I have never met you but your charm and intellect on this forum are enticing to say the least.

I have just gone through my posts and can't find anything in them that could in any way be interpreted as a "rant" and upon review its clear that I was simply making a contribution to the topic which by the way is about the cost of F18's. My responses have been directly related to the topic, unlike your (how do you say it?).... Rant?
