I agree but, and I hate to point this out, you don't seem to be following your
own advice. If there are egos to be fed you just fed them.

I've probably been here for a couple of months and, AFAICS, there's a group of
people over 'there' who don't like the group of people (which includes you)
over 'here'. So what? That's life. Everyone should get over it. When it starts
I hit the ignore key for that thread branch. The worst that happens is that I
might miss a nugget of information but I'm sure life will go on.

I confess I'm wondering how I got sucked into this so I'll probably shut up
now. I suspect that I saw people taking this newsgroup thing far too seriously
(I mean, it's not as if it's real life like Star Trek is it?) and didn't
resist the urge to comment.
