>People like me???? What does that mean? What do you know about me?

All I know about you is you posted a remark to "grow up" on this thread, yet you were obviously unaware of the extent of the problem being discussed here. So since your comment that warranted my original reply was one with the apparent attitude of being blind to the situation yet feeling the previously posted commentary was inconsequential enough to deserve a reply of "grow up", I deemed it was appropriate to fully enlighten you to the situation with an equal amount of attitude.

>If there are those that REALLY have to spend that much time dealing with forwarded messages then you are right. Again, as I have stated it seems the only solution would be to limit forwarding to the priviledged or remove it all together.

I believe this thread in it's entirety proves the point that there is a problem. However I dont agree with your solution. I think a message or warning of some sort is much more appropriate.

>You mean like accepting another point of view without attacking the person?
>So you think that your reply to me was professional?

Well, my take on your "grow up" response was that it was loaded with unnecessary attitude much to the extent that I perceived as an "attack" as you call it. Especially in light of the fact that you have now admitted that you had no clue in regards to the issue being discussed here. Have you ever heard of the expression "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Well, my response to you was not intentionally meant to attack you, it was merely a cause-and-effect action to your initial post. If you post a blatant opinion that is loaded with attitude and biased on an issue that you have no apparent knowledge of, I would naturally assume you had enough the skin thick enough to handle response of the same nature.

>Well I hope that you feel better, but you have really offended me but that is ok.. I'm just a nobody here and it really does not matter in the greater scheme of things now does it?

I offended you? Gee imagine that... did you perhaps not stop to think on your original post with the "grow up" remark that you might perhaps be offending the person you posted that remark too? Gee... I bet you didnt. I found it offensive, thus my rant to you. Perhaps you didnt deserve that rant directly if you've never been one to abuse the forwarding replies feature up here, but the nature and tone of your reply that was posted without knowledge of the issue being discussed warranted it IMO. I do apologize for offending becuase of course that wasn't my intention. My intention was to stop skipping around the maypole with this issue and post the heart of the problem in a direct manner. Your comment to "grow up" just happened to make that direct manner a little harsher than perhaps was necessary. But the whole point of this discussion is to make people stop and think, perhaps the next time you wish to post a comment like that on an issue that you dont have first hand knowledge you will now stop and think first too.
