Bill,
>...At any rate, if we can keep the lines of communication open, try to give the other person the benefit of the doubt as much as possible, and try to think thru our posts before pushing the send button ( unless of course you really want to insult the other person :-) ), hopefully we can help those newly entering the forum to not receive incorrect first impressions and the general morale of the forum will be kept as high as possible.
Well said.
