It is sometimes stated a bit strongly, but I would prefer to maintain a variety of opinion than just stomp anybody who sounds like he has a negative attitude. I would like to make my own decisions about which postings represent negativism and which represent a dissenting opinion. And I would like to see dissenting opinion. Just my thoughts, freedom of speech (within reason) and all that. -- Andrew Thomas andrewt@watnow.waterloo.edu Systems Design Eng.
