RC>>> In the politics echoes, well thats harder, since your

 I find that rediculous. I know a lot of people I disagree with,
 but get along with. The only time most people seem to be
 incapable of conducting themselves in  friendly manner with
 those they disagree with is when they feel protected by distance
 or anonymity. Electronic communication seems to make people feel
 free to act without thought of consequences. Like alcohol, it
 doesn't put anything there that wasn't there before. What comes
 out is what is already inside.

 WC>>>> Please read above once again carefully and take it at face value

 RC>>> I have, lets see how it goes.

 BK>>  Does this mean you are giving up flaming? If so, please let me
 BK>>  know so I can remove your name from the tagline.

 RC> I told Wayne I would try to be more civil to him in the

 RC> you might have noted, is off on another one of his gone off

 It's pretty much difficult to follow. I tend not to try, really.
