Connie, I have been around (lurking mostly) since V3.0, and have seen (read?) many users come and go. The longer you are around the better you are able to identify who is helpful, new, ignorant (in the nice way), and just plain rude. I have learned to just ignore and delete postings from those I know to be useless. I hope this has just been a bad day and you will reconsider. There are those of us out here who do value you comments and postings, even if we do not speak up very often. You have at least my support and I hope you stay around.

I have always done my best to be helpful and keep to topic. Quite frankly, I've been on some contentious lists and message boards and have developed a rather thick skin, but this one takes the prize for passive-aggressiveness. To those who seem to have nothing better to do than write aggressive messages to posters who innocently violate your concept of what is appropriate: the Legacy staff, or the polite people on the board, will inform us if we mess up. You don't have to do it for them. If you aren't interested in the subject line, the content of the first post the thread, or the name of the poster, use the delete key thereafter. I deeply appreciate those of you who have helped me learn to make better use of Legacy, and I hope in the process I have at least occasionally helped others.
