======================

Absolutely right. It's called leading by example. Let everyone's
posts here reflect what they would lke the entire group to be like.


Maybe you can get on your 'high horse' and plonk Bert for posting what he
claims are Harry's statistics. I would say that could be considered 'not
contributing much'...eh?



Is this the tone you plan to keep Don?
I'm a product of my environment.....
When someone wants to make a point of attacking me for non-contributing, I
may point out their inconsistencies.
If we all want to stick to boating...I'll contribute what I can.
Does this mean you'll quit provoking Atl_man2? That would be a great help
in cleaning up the noise ratio.

Don't change the subject Don but address the question I posed to you.

Is this the tone you plan to keep? Just wondering.

BTW: No one *provokes* Kevin. He brings it on himself. Once Kevin stops
his c#ap here I am sure he will be a welcome contributor to the NG.

Exactly. Kevin has STARTED more personal attack threads than the rest of
the NG combined, as well as littering just about every other thread with is
adolescent foul language. Add to that the constant whing about others doing
the exact same thing he does.

As a result, kevin indeed brings it on himself.

Why do you constantly defend Kevin, Don?

Is this the new tone you are bringing to the NG Don? What has changed?
