Truth be told we've probably forgotten some of the bad ones. There have been times when Judith or Michael have had to step in, such as this one: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/thread.cfm/threadid:29373#291079 There have been times when folks have stepped back or leaving the list. Some of those folks have come back and others have not... names have been called and I put together a formula which, ironically, even this thread seems to be slipping in to. Heck, even I have said, "I'm backing off for now" http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/thread.cfm/threadid:27926#273797 And don't think it can't happen with *any* thread here... even when I asked for advice on a family trip to DC in 2009 the thread diverged into a debate http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/thread.cfm/threadid:30369#301454 A lot of it boils down to a thread I posted last year asking if we can be emotionally intelligent online http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/thread.cfm/threadid:35687 ... well, that and the formula. I *wish* that I could find that but for some reason it's not in my archives anywhere! Until Later! C. Hatton Humphrey http://www.eastcoastconservative.com Every cloud does have a silver lining. Sometimes you just have to do some smelting to find it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:372566 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
