Dan,

If your views aren't RHDC's, you're not doing your job.  You (and we all)
must educate the benighted and thereby elevate them to our higher level.  If
that doesn't work, yell and scream and call them bad names until they learn
the error of their ways.  This may take awhile, so be patient.  Eventually
they will come around.  Or die.

Alternately, there is the W.C. Fields approach: If at first you don't
succeed, try again.  If you still don't succeed, then give up. Don't make a
damn fool of yourself.

Always trying to help,

Ralph
