In spite of all the quarrelling above, which I'm sorry that I added to in any way, I think this thread is well worth refreshing, for the sake of working for peace. Even if only between Mudcats and Guests.
Little Hawk told me something the other day I've been pondering ever since. He said that at any given time there are far more peaceful places in the world than ones afflicted with war. He said that there is far more peace within families and between neighbours etc. than the opposite.
That's a hopeful thought, and it rings true too. I guess it's the conflict situations that demand attention though. That's why it's so easy to get distracted from all the peace that does exist around us every day.
Guest I didn't realize that using block caps could be percieved as screaming, and I thought you were just attacking me when you mentioned it. I'm new at computers, and will make it my next job to learn how to use a word-processor to write my posts before I post them, so I can use italics/bold for emphasis instead. I didn't mean to offend - I just didn't know that aspect of 'computerese'. Thank you.
