<<munch>> Any group of people will end up arguing about stuff. Its the nature of the beast. Frankly, though most of the arguing is off-topic, the fact that people here argue is a good thing, IMO. It means they are thinking for themselves and willing to stand up for what they believe. That means when I get advice, it comes from people who think about what they say. They may be right or wrong, but its at least a considered opinion. And the fact that we all come from such varied backgrounds, one of the main contributing factors to the arguments, I believe, means that we have a varied approach to problems and their resolution. We have multiple points of view that lead to a better understanding of the tasks before us. How many times have you tried to help someone, beaten down the same path over several exchanges, to have someone else finally see what the real problem is and throw it out there? It happens a lot, and there's usually a "wow, I never could have thought of that" type of response. In order to get this, we have to accept the other. Oh, and one other thing? A sure fire way to avoid being flamed it to mention something about donning the asbestos suit or some similar "bring it on" statement. Likewise, a "please don't flame me" is sure to bring it on. meh. so it goes. later taters .02 A -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
