You are right,

I did have a lapse. My frustration was the number of posts on the subject of canadian capital gains, and then a bit of argument about it all. My chickens analogy was not a good one, just a feeble attempt to reroute the conversation. Certainly I am as guilty as any for counting embryos.

And since we are having a frank exchange, I notice that you too sometimes change from lovable snezzer into a different persona... I guess there are many sides to all of us! Viva la difference!

Or are we both suffering from the platinum / nickel / gold fever? - now that could be a toxic combination for the soul!

The Saints preserve us!
