Terry >Do not want to enter into those hornets nests. Me neither. For that reason I won't go to GPM. Last time I was there someone complained to SI management that I had posted porn. (In fact I had posted an 'adult' internet address in SA to an ex-SAn as a joke) Some of those guys take themselves too seriously, especially now, with the new war etc. I always read the thread but I won't put my nose in. Discretion is the better part of valor. I won't go to Kitco, either, where many years ago I had a run-in with Bart Kitner, the site owner, because I said I wasn't a "goldschmuk" and there were complaints about anti-semitism. FYI, I'm also a radio ham and the same thing happens in ham radio where some guys are always trying to prevail over others and keep telling everyone how to behave. So, I've lost interest in that hobby. I just can't stand "Holier than thou" guys. I rather communicate with no-one if communication means having to be censored and censured all the time --- by pricks and mother Grundys!
