Moonchild: Well said. The love of words and song is why we come to this forum. It is sad to see the power of words used for harm, and it's been done too much lately. For myself, it is startling to see the number of Jeckyl/Hyde personalities that emerge through the course of a thread. That the same people can be so helpful and generous, and then spiteful in such a short turn, but it happens in the closest of families. You play long enough, you are bound to have your arm twisted behind your back until you cry "uncle"...BS is fine, everything has it's place, but the origional intent of threads for learning is being lost. I come to this forum with an open mind and heart, I think who I might be affecting before I type a word, and I love you all for the knowledge and fun I've experienced here. But continuing to grouse about past indifferences isn't going to do anyone a damn bit of good. What say we give all 'Catters a clean slate and be done with this? Elle
