Heya Rod,

Exactly! I agree ... I've run into this same sort of situation with other people (I won't say who or where <g>) and I simply stop responding to their posts. That stops things right there, quick and easy.

As a matter of fact there are quite a few major contributors on this forum that disagree with Michel's banishment of JVP.
