Well, anyway, I've had similar happen, even here where I live now, but I handle it in a short, polite, non militant (as you put it) fashion and it never has caused a problem. I view it as a minor annoyance, at worst, and move on.*p*Michael Re: Witch Stands up for Her Rights Deborah 129 Fri Oct 23 15:02:32 1998
