Thanks for the really sound advice to all users and me in particular. I'm a
novice when it comes to communicating on the internet (it wasn't an internet
user before mid-2002), but I can pick up what you mean by the "Internet
hothouse social environment."
Since of the tone of this thread of postings started dying down, I've been
trying to ignore the personal attacks, while responding to the users who
want to get something productive done, such as Mav and Bryan. This strategy
has been working, given that the wise words from you, Ray, Mav, Anthere,
etc. now overtaking the heated attacks and counter-attacks.
Thanks again for the wise words,
172
