Steve,
 Flaming ?

 Never. You have apologised, and we need go no further.

 I will add, 
Flaming is the actions expected of people at the "frat boy" level of the 
internet community.

What saddens me is the people who send a letter to the list saying,
 please unsubscribe me.
Ok, they were unwise, and didn't read the list instructions.

Then, some "helpful" people send some flames to the list and the person 
requesting to be unsubscribed.
Why do this?

Next time someone does a search on your name, they just find all these
flames. I hope that my potential employer/client/friend/parent/other never
find a flame from me.

Sure, it might decrease the number of unsubscribe requests, but really, we 
are adults, and do not need to descend to those levels.

===================
Now, is that OT, or what ?

Derek.
