Thank you Perrier, I could not say it any better. Right from my hart. My frustration along with the points so eloquently covered is that among some of the beat it to death responses there maybe be something worth wile that I have deleted, because I do not open all postings any more. Also some of us most likely more than most think have moved to one on one dialog not to be exposed to the abuse, time-nuts members are the losers. Some contributors after extensive unreasonable criticism decide to withdraw, example Shera, again a loss. Bert Kehren Miami In a message dated 12/21/2010 7:46:49 P.M.

List, I, and I suspect many others, archive this list on a word processor to save its information for projects and learning. That said, there are a number on this list who do not edit their replies to a thread so we end up with pages upon pages of previous postings. If one or more people do this, besides violating the lists protocol, It makes it extremely difficult to follow the postings. So in essence by not editing the effectiveness of the responses are greatly diminished. Some seem to delight in nitpicking minutia details. Look at the whole message. Does it really have to be absolutely 100 percent accurate to be valid? Come on give it a break. For most of us this is a hobby and we don’t have advanced science degrees. All have some or a great deal of expertise in one or more areas but no one has great expertise in ALL areas. This leads nicely into my last comment on civility. All of us are wrong or mis-guided at times. A helpful private email correction is appreciated. Being sarcastic to the poster in public isn’t. I try to remember this wise adage: Be Careful Of The Toes You Step On Today As They May Be Attached To The Butt You Have To Kiss Tomorrow.
