We slip away from all your armed might, laughing at your clumsiness! We slip away as we always will, you pathetic creatures. And now that we have a real head start, you'll never catch us! What better proof that the Progenitors favor not you, but us! What better proof... The taunt went on. Krat listened, enraged, yet at the same time savoring the artistry of it.

Cervix,
Thank you for the complement. I've never been one to accept the
assertion that to be passionate about what you believe in is counter to
technical assistance. If it matters enough, you get concerned enough,
in direct proportion to how much it matters. Of course it helps to have
common sense about what matters and what does not.
I should also add that today's community trends (in our bailiwick
proper) require an open mind, rather than a closed one, and that many
people are threatened by changes in the status quo. Quite often such
people are unhappy in their private lives and use negativity as a
symptomatic reliever, rather than finding a real cure.

Re: [newbie] OT quick note to Brian Lyvim the rest who care
Yep Lets lighten up, After all a lot of people hate to read manuals because they are so dry and boreing that thry make som people almost catatonic. IMHO the best text book or manual that I have ever used is THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE OF HOW TO KEEP A VOLKSWAGON ALIVE FOR EVER Very entertaining yet covers all topics in detail, makes learning fun without getting stupid. It's almost worth getting a copy just for all the hand drawn illistrations. I guess this learning style ain't for everyone but some folks love it. I suppose the big question is how much humor is acceptable. Beyond a shadow of a doubt you can't keep all the people happy all the time.
