Edward;
Your observation is interesting and makes me think. About 5 or 6 years ago there were a few posters who knew how to push peoples buttons and did so on a regular basis. For the last few years we have a few newer posters that can push your buttons (or button), with most of the older group no longer posting. I will mention three initials as an example: JVP. Even today those initials can bring on the wrath of god (lower case - much lower in fact). :)
