	I personally enjoy reading flames. I don't think we should ban
all flames to net.flame, maybe just the ones which have very strong 
language and the ones which are too personal. In other words, if you want
to flame anyone, go ahead; as long as your flame contains a valid rebuttal
of the other person's claims and it is not too unpleasant.
