Ok, I'm a nobody with less experience than most list member's pinky toes, but I won't stand people outright flaming.
I don't care to know the exact nature of what was going on when I first joined the list, but it seems to be repeating itself. I don't know why. I don't care who started it, or their reasons. Are not we all above this? Does everything now devolve to people acting like rabid dogs? I joined this list to learn, not to get my inbox accosted with vitriolic hate. One would think that people who take pride in owning or working on a Benz would be better suited at turning the other cheek and acting congenial to their fellow man, especially during this season.
