Joe & Max & Pene Azul.....and Dick G. in the database.. have made/allowed this place to be one of the outstanding forums going **ANYWHERE**....even the anonymous trolls & flamers 'usually' get their say...until they overstep bounds stated pretty clearly in the FAQ/users guide. I suppose it's a good thing for them that I am not the technical guru who created this, 'cause I doubt I could show the sanity & restraint that Max and crew have shown.

I get alternately amused and outraged at those who post self-righteous, indignant diatribes about cultural, social,ethical, moral, political and religious issues as if THEIR opinions were some sort of **TRUTH** that we should all read and slap our foreheads, saying "oh, thank you for clearing that us, oh wise one!"

cripes...there are too many ways to look at things, folks....your viewpoint..(yes, and mine too) is just one in a universe of opinions. I speak my mind on occasion, but I don't huff & puff if someone disagrees...and I DON'T call names and point fingers like that silly twit trying to tweak Joe Offer for not riding heard on 'racists', when several people SAID he's "on vacation"......

*sigh*......'nuff to make a Misanthropist look like an Optimist
