I don't think I've been flamed in my own eyes anyway.I did get someone send me a PM apologising for flaming me, but I'd thought it was fair comment. Of course that probably means there are people out there who think I'ver flamed them and haven't apologised.
My general principle - which I don't always keep to - is that there is never any point in annoying anybody, except maybe if that is a way of prodding them into doing or saying something foolish which will serve your ends. And that can't apply here - winning arguments isn't important enough to play dirty.
