Martin:

Good posts should be about the subject. If egos are involved, then the intelligence and thought put into the thread gets sidelined. And again, I think mud flinging as a message and as a response can be fun, but they can also be ignored when they detract from a subject which might in fact be fun and interesting all its own self.

If we're going to be concerned with "LOOK AT ME!" types of posts, we might as well post photos to go with.
