>If makes any difference to you or not, I just went through the last one hundred of your posts (I got time, you don't need to comment on that), and only found 18 with technical merit. And the rest (82% and most of the ones with info)definitly don't fall under "just being friendly."

Hey Mike,

When one sees aggression that doesn't result in much of anything creative and just seems to be predictably and unimaginatively ongoing, it can become useless to attempt a rational understanding of it (a function of that happens in the head). Often the viable alternative is found in the body. Check out: (seach/scroll/read down to "5. RECIPROCAL CAUSATION")

i.e. we are chemical creatures, man. :-)

And throw in a little of this:

Or since you seem to have some time, you might seach about for info on "boy psychology", "puer aeternus", "polarized behavior", "tyrannical/impotent behavior", "ego enmeshment", "seperation from mother", "diamond quaternio", "polarized vs. polarization".

All of this is just for fun of course, nothing implied here toward any specific threads or persons. I'm just saying that maybe...sometimes...something like the above may possibly impact UT threads.

Enjoy & Happy Holidays, Steven-
