Didn't take him long to make my KF.

He has that effect on people sometimes.

It could have been real fun - we've had some real battles in the good
old
days - all very civil and all very nasthy. :)

Oh well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. :)

I think I'd disagree that trying to start flame wars, simply because
it might be fun, would be a good idea.

I'm serious- he's a really nice guy and very interesting to talk to.

Truth is that many folks you might consider a**holes online, are usually
nice folks in person. The anonymity of the internet brings out the worst in
some people. Maybe it's pent up agression from home or work... it doesn't
really matter.

I've been involved "online" since 1983, starting as a member of Compuserve
and GeNie, then later as a staff member, then sysop, on a very popular
C'serve forum. I met quite a few folks as a result of my sysop duties. My
experience is that the biggest blowhards online, are generally the opposite
in person. Of course, there *are* exceptions to every rule, and I've seen
that as well g Funny thing, is that the reverse can be true as well. One
fellow, that I got along very well with "online" turned out to be a HUGE
butthead in person. Haven't talked to him since...

Oh, I'm not doubting you, Tom.

But the old rule usually applies. "First impressions, are..."

Well, you know the rest.

I thought things would calm down a bit with the exception of the
occasional cross-dress .. OOPS! "Cross-POSTER!", yes. things have
been calm, well.. sort of

Especially since the one who is supposedly a karate expert from
atlanta has been off chasing home brew and BBQ. It's been so calm it's
almost boring.

Glad to have you back, and sorry for your mishap.
