However, Zebra, I agree with you. I will not respond to said pathetic personality in the future. Frank: I only said that you are rude "sometimes". Other times you are right on the money. OK: Back to TPRO (or TAVA as we hope it will soon be). Wade

emember, the only way to extinguish this behavior is to ignore it. If you want to play tennis, you've got to be smarter than the ball. B.F. Skinner>> Now we are on my turf. You can ignore behavior, but keep in mind the phenomenon of "post extinciton bursting". The problem behavior will briefly incrase in frequency and intensity when the reinforcer (in this case atteniton) is removed. Yes, it will extinguish if you hold the course. BUt if the target behavior intensifies to the point that you can't ignore it (like the autistic child who takes a can opener to their head when you try to extinguish them), its time for cattle prods and Haldol...in that order. Oh! I've made a threat of cattle prods! Better call the FBI to pre-empt you know who. DocStone
