OK, lots of people have tried to make this next point, but it hasn't worked yet, and I think I know why. Here goes. . . Let's have a complete stop of all flames. Why has this suggestion not worked? Because of the delay time messages get going to the bboard. It never fails that four posts later we have a power-flame. This breaks the calm and everyone is up in arms again. If EVERYONE just decides to igone the next one days flames after this, then the problem will be gone. Just like that. Mad Uncle
