One of the oddities of this new online forum type of communication is that it requires 'oldbies' to act as teachers for the 'newbies'. While this may have been the norm in small village communities in the distant past, the simple fact of the matter is that in our modern day to day lives most of us are not accustomed to teaching others or to cultivating the requisite patience. Compound that with the impersonal nature of the medium and all too often you find curt rudeness prevails. I'm sure we've all heard the reminder that we were all newbies once. A little compasion and kindness can go a long way here. Todd
