Steve;

Sometimes I think I am experiencing a shark feeding frenzy when I see one of the known Dot Netter’s post anything on the VFP forum. First drop the bait and then stand back! It is a matter of over sensitivity or paranoia it seems on the part of a few people.

I must say that not all the participants on both sides are always kind to each other. First wounding someone and then rubbing salt into the wound is not a nice thing to do. After awhile some persons are so sensitive that they have a predetermined mind set and response to the dot Netter’s. It is a bit like a husband and wife who fight all the time.

After some time the reason for the original fight is forgotten and only the memory of intolerance remains. :)

Happy Friday! Lord may I last through this day! :)
