Your attempt to highjack a beautiful thread with your ugly comments will hopefully not succeed.

See previous comment. (Although I understand that you had to respond to the attack against you.)

I must admit I'm quite cynical about e-mails such as this that have no source or reference material. All to often this kind of stuff is contrived by adults because of the emotional manipulation one gains by attributing these comments to children. I for one will not give in to being manipulated into 'oohs' and 'ahhs' just because a child allegedly said these things. I see this all the time also, and have to roll my eyes before devoting precious neurons to meaningful pursuits - like checking the Delete box off and sending this drivel into the virtual trash heap.
