Ah, quite different from what I read.  I'm glad we can agree upon the source
of the misunderstanding.

I think we may still have some reasonable differences on the Cold War which
would be worth exploring, but it will probably be spread out as I have
limited time at the moment for a well thought out discussion.  I really do
appreciate the courtesy of your assignment of our miscommunication to a
neutral factor.  I definitely used the wrong context. :-)
