yeah..well, looking at old threads, I've found that once upon a time it was apparently possible for Mudcatters to converse without baiting, bashing and bastardizing.

Anyone using ANY thread should have sense enough to check and re-check whatever references were given. Presumably, most of us are also bright enough to judge for ourselves whether we find a post pointless and/or invalid.

I was looking forward to a non-contentious thread on a relatively interesting topic.
WHY IS THAT NOT ALLOWED?
