Adam, could you please just relax! This is the third time in a little over a week you've reacted this way to one of my posts. I'm not out to flame you every time you write something ... I don't object to what you've been writing, and I truly do have better things to do than pick on people at random from this board. I'm sorry for whatever I'm saying that makes you keep reacting this way -- so if you have some problem with what I've been posting, just email me ... if I objected to the mail, I wouldn't post my address.
With the black and white nature of etext and its complete lack of inflection or any other non-verbal cuing, plus the fact that this mode of communication is asynchronous and that can screw any sense of context as well, it's really easy to misconstrue the connotation of people's posts. So try not to assume the worst from the start ... it's often the opposite of what the author intends.
Sorry folks,
Bob
