>>Tell me Jess, even if the general perception of a post was rude, and the MVP gave some solid technical advice, would you NOT use the advice because of the rudeness???? Somewho, I don't think so.....

As a novice programmer, I learned to zero on certain author's responses here because I found out who was credible and who (to put it nicely) wasn't. JVp was a credible poster and still is. But when I find a "soap opera" going on, I really don't bother to look any further. So while there may have been solid technical advice, I don't see it because I moved on.

UT has helped me to many times to count but lately it's starting to sound like high school all over again (and that was only 5 years ago).

I have to agree with you on this point. And yes, you make sense (sometimes :)
