To the thread in general re: disruptions. There exists something called the Passive-Dependent personality type. This type needs feedback from other people so badly that they will even seek negative feedback to fulfill that need. They often provoke negative feedback but in such a way that they will continue to see themselves as being passive, but still the center of attention. If you pay attention to this provocative behavior, even with punishment, you reenforce it and the behavior increases. If you ignore the provocative behavior it will be diminished or extinguished. When you see a thread start to center around a single person, you are probably seeing such a transaction occurring. Remember, the only way to extinguish this behavior is to ignore it. Message 2627588 Sandie, I posted the above in November 1997 on this thread in similar circumstances. I can assure you that in my recent previous post I was in no way referring to you or the majority of the people posting on this thread. Zebra
