Ah. The voice of sanity. How I agree with you. I've been deleting digests unread, which up to now is unheard of. The only thing I will say, is that if a person can't post like a gentleman(*) he should not post at all. You know who you are. Dave NB UnImBloodyPressed (*) I note the ladies are preserving a dignified silence I agree with you, we should observe the normal courtesies on this list. If we met such boorish people in the pub, virtual or not, we would quickly find an excuse and move away to more congenial company. I think that should happen on this list, but some people seem to enjoy arguing. I have noticed that the arguments usually involve illogical assumptions or personal abuse, neither of which helps. One or two people offer properly reasoned and sensible answers, which at least make for better reading, even if they don't influence the boor's point of view. Dorothy
