Tim : Blow them off. It's evidence of our cultural mentality, the American weakness. The people seek out mentors, educators, and leaders for advice and consent. But, once they've found an eminent guide, the perverse nature of many is to follow begrudgingly at the footsteps all the while nipping hard at the heels. It is fostered by the competitive inbreeding of a culture that says to the individual, "You are number one and as good or better than anyone else!" Isn't pride one of the deadly seven sins? What a blow it is to egos to realize that not everyone, least of all themselves, can be the "best". Usually in despicable envy or self-pitying anger, the lesser of these lash out to try and tear down the very ones that had offered them hope and a helping hand. Tim, so long as your thread is popping with excitement and activity, you know you doing a lot right. I've seen a tremendous amount of respect and tipping-of-the-hat to you on a daily basis, even from a number lurkers who rarely venture a message. Ignore those other pitiable creatures. Buck
