I think that, in general, the behaviour on this thread has been very civil. There has been the odd exception but that is only to be expected. I would say we probably deserve a pat on the back but it may be misconstrued :-)

Has anyone learned anything? If so, do you want to share? I can start the ball rolling by saying that I am hoping to make knee-jerk posts a thing of the past. It seems far better to consider what you are going to put and think about it more. If nothing else, it can make the insults more devastating ;-) I probably did know that already but must thank Steve for making the comment about this luxury being available to us here and we should be taking full advantage of it.
