>>I have been trying to steer people towards the better ways for a long time and I finally got sick and tired of wasting my breath on diplomacy.

Ernest Rutherford (who split the atom) once observed that if you can't explain something to the janitor, it may not be worth knowing.

One of his contemporaries also observed that we all should be respectful towards others; not as a reflection of their character, but of ours. ;-)

While best experts can be a bit scratchy, this VFP community has tended to be very polite and respectful unlike other communities where flame wars and petty insults reign. Sometimes it does come here- as I recall, Michel's first ever banning was of somebody who should have known better than to issue distasteful sexual taunts- but usually we're better and long may it continue.
