I sort of equate flame wars on user groups like this to the radio or watching TV. Folks complain that there is music or TV programs that offend them or that they don't like. But of course, if you don't like what you hear or see, there is this thing...I think it is called a "dial" which alleviates the annoyance and mental pain....that being the delete key on the computer....all in all it take about 1 second for me to recognize the offending email or thread and delete it. The only issue I can see that this thread is being captured on the LP archive site. That's a lot of irrelevant bullshit to capture for the entire freakin' world to see on the World Wide Web. Based on some of the responses I've seen, and jabs back and forth, I'd personally be a bit embarrassed that my thoughts were captured on an archive. I've been there, and I've always regretted having my asinine banter posted on the web for eternity, especially if I was directly or indirectly insulting another human being. Big brother is watching you... :) Heh heh... Hopefully you haven't read this far, and you've delete the message.

That's no reason to leave it. I do have a problem with this little flame war, but I don't think I'll be leaving the list anytime soon. -- * David Beardsley * microtonal guitar * http://biink.com/db
