>Correct. We have the freedom to choose to not read the offending posting. But it should be read and assessed. If you choose, no reply is necessary. You may freely ignore a posting. By not replying, logic assumes you agree with the writer and that is something you do not want. We must remember that jewels are sometimes found in an unlikely place. It is the exchange of ideas that fuels progress. Sometimes, from chaos invention is born. If you feel your knowledge is greater than others you should feel obliged to teach and elevate others to your level and not ban them from knowedge. No matter what, our quest for truth and knowledge should never be abandoned.

Um, what Tracy just said to you pretty much sums it up for me.
