^^^ Personally, I believe that very few harsh words were posted in t his thread. Here's what I think ... Because we use a keyboard to "talk," and because we can't see each other through the computer monitor, we cannot see facial expressions or hand gestures. In other words, we cannot always decipher the true intent of the person we are responding to. So much of what I read in this thread I see a humor being the intent. Some folks, myself included, tend to have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor ... and at times, especially if you can't see a smile on the other side of the screen, we take the comments as a put-down or even verbal abuse. That's why I try to included one of these :-) when I'm joking. Personally, guys like "mapman" and "wolf-garcia" crack me up with some of their posts.
Happy listening .. .and happy fuses, guys. :-)
