You distorted and exaggerated what I have said.  This makes it difficult to
have a rational discussion.  I never called you totalitarian dictators.
I never suggested abruptly dropping the existing hosting.  After seeing
the way you construct your arguments , I will make an even greater effort
to remain factual.  I don't observe XMAS.  I do promote individual 
liberty.  Why did the hosting turn into a sort of chinese fire drill ?
This situation is continuing to be very educational for me.  You do have
exceptional wordsmithing skills.
