>>Sarcasm toward a poster is not appropriate and should not be tolerated. It only drags the discussion down and adds no value. I prefer to discuss ideas and not posters. Obviously, you don't share that belief. << Michael - You are right. Sarcasm does not help. I could have pointed out the irony in your words without being sarcastic. It is, however, a different thing to be sarcastic about what someone has said than about the person him or herself. In part of my post, I clearly identified the irony as being connected to your words, and not to you personally. However, I do see that the overall sarcastic tone was unnecessarily personal, and for that I apologize. If you will accept that apology, perhaps we can continue to discuss ideas. - Allen
