>> is it actually a double standard for some and not others. That's a fair question, and I have to plead guilty. We try to maintain a curmudgeonly standard, but cut some slack for regulars who get so intense about some issue that they forget that they are supposed to be engaging and humorous thread. But if it's protracted, even they can expect to catch grief for bringing serious substantive issues to a thread about nothing. It's only natural that we're marginally tougher on visitors who haven't made the first step towards earning curmudgeonly credentials. >> you were polite in asking me to leave so I will. Both President Bush and Mayor Giuliani have implored us to get back to our normal lives. I was just being a good American mudge by asking you stop being serious and try to put some humor in your posts. That's what we've been doing here for the last couple of years, and we're trying to get back to it. This is our fox hole from the horrors of the real world. cuf
