CR, "The real problem is that so many people don't want to exchange ideas, they want to throw tantrums, bombs, score cheap shots, and stifle dissent. BTW, IMO, that's as true on stock threads as it is on political threads of all stripes." Great minds think alike! I couldn't agree more! BTW, I did take note of your smiley in that post. We who do not put people on <ignore> and ban people for our threads tend to be more observant than those who do <ignore> and <ban>. Just an observation. Disclaimer: Laz has, over the years, coerced me into using smilies in my posts. He says that without them, I am likely to be misunderstood. I have found that the use of smilies mostly make little difference in levels of comprehension of intent by the reader. <g> - Holly
