Credit me with some smarts. There are people whose posts I just flat don't read, and others I skip lightly through. With some folks, if you've already read a number of their posts, a glance at an opening line and a few key words tells you all you need to know about what they have to say. And rank insults and obscenity simply negate anything of value that the poster might actually have to say, so quick scan, if at all, and move on to something more civilized and intelligent. There is the old adage, "Consider the source." Don't let the Philistines drive you away. That's what some of them want. Don Firth
