Hi Spaw,I think you are right to encourage people not to respond to flamers/trolls - mostly 'cos it feeds them, but also - don't let yourself get emotionally dragged in. (Not that it 's easy sometimes). You think you're having a rational debate, but .... I've been pleased to see some of the provacative threads getting little/no response at all and dropping off the bottom of the page. See ya Hilary
