Greetings, all:
I am reminded of two ancient truths that are sometimes good to remember:
o "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."
o "Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and annoys the pig."
And a truth with a less ancient lineage (I learned it from my father):
o "Everyone's a jerk* 5 minutes a day. The secret to getting along with others
is, don't take your 5 minutes when someone else is taking theirs."
*(Ok, my dad didn't say 'jerk'.)
