well, it's no use debating. It's so nice some folks have the 'moral high ground' and have such great self-control. I, personally, have tried to have more, but durned if I don't give in sometimes! (and sometimes it just feels like a game...and you can't help doing something....like my 40 line parody sentence a few months ago. It wasn't helpful...but OH! it was fun! I have slowed down a lot, but I can't promise I would NEVER say anything else if it keeps going!

The 'sharp objects and electrical equipment' metaphor is cute, but hardly helpful. What I said was true: You CANNOT make a rule/suggestion that 100% of ANY group will folow. (Did you ever try to tell people not to jaywalk? All you can do is make a few rules, enforce what you can of the worst infringements, and hope..)
