re: Geez Louise...
Tom, it's just the tone you take where it seems that you lump who you're resonding to into some group you have no respect for. I've felt it in the past and from the responses below it sounds as if ER got that same impression.
It's not facts we're debating here Tom. It's style. Obviously this is Flame so you have every right to tear into someone but if that's not your intent, simply starting out with a statement like "You make very valid points but......" would go a long way towards not putting the hair up on people's necks before they even read into the meat of you text and links.
How do you get along with dogs by the way?
