Actually, I think that Mr. Pink and David are pretty funny. However, the funniest thing is that they are not nearly as funny as they think they are. I'm by no means sold on CCSI. It's certainly possible in my mind that CCSI is going to disappoint its fans. However, I'm curious to see if they have anything substantive to say about the supposed deficiencies of the company. By the way, and this is a perfectly serious question, what is Darby's professional background? --SK, eternal straightman

This is actually in response to Ron Harvey's post: exchange2000.com where he wrote: <<I do hope that those who read a post they consider to be flaming simply don't respond. That kind of self-control would keep the board civil and more open to ideas. Don't feed the flames. An elementary fire-fighting technique.>> I respectfully disagree. I'd hate anybody to feel frustrated or depressed or maybe take out their anger on someone they live with when they're enraged by what they see as a stupid or insulting post. It was inevitable that someone would test the parameters of the non-flaming topic (though, to be fair to Mr. Pink, whether sarcasm qualifies as flaming is an arguable point, so I'll give him credit for lawyerly skill in splitting hairs). I suggest that the appropriate way to respond to an inappropriate message in the other thread is to post an answer in this thread by posting a link. It's a fair amount of bother, but I would suggest it's worth the effort for anyone who feels a compulsion to answer but also want to maintain the integrity of the non-flaming thread. Let's face it--self-control is out of style in the 90's. Maybe the best we can hope for is a little discrimination in venues.
