Do you now agree with me that posting this type of information on a fellow

Don,
That is the first step to acknowledge that you are nasty, irresponsible
and potentially dangerous.


You know, this is getting to be ridiculous.

I've corresponded with, spoken to or met a number of regular posters
here and have found them to be pleasant, articulate, personable and
knowledgable on any number of subjects from esoteric math theory to
practical applications of engineering principles.

When I look at these same personas here, it's a whole different world.
These very same people act like morons and are moving electrons around
at a rate that would make any networking enthusiast envious.

Can't we just stop for a while, take a collective breath and start
over with a little more civility?

It can't be that hard.


Let's see how many can sign on to stop the name-calling and personal
insults, of *anyone* regardless of the behavior of others.

I think that would be a good start, don't you?

An answer would be appreciated.
