Hello Cindy!

That works both ways.

 CH>  Exactly. That is what I meant by  what to do 'is not rocket science'.

If over there isnt of interest to you, dont take or read the area, be the
better person and let it all roll off your shoulders.

 CH>  Yep. And yet sometimes such defense is just flame feed.

Of course it is...

In this case, the person who mentioned Tims name was hoping for a response
so that he could have his real or perceived allies "pile on".

I can attest to the fact that the person whose initials are "RS"
is guilty of that, in and out of Fido, on his blogs and in other forums
such as democraticunderground, he lives and exists for the political fight
and if you arent with him, you are against him (sound familiar).

Even my name has made it into his blog and I cant fathom why. I am a normal
non-famous taxpayer who puts in his 40 hours a week, my involvement in
politics goes no further than sharing an opinion on it, voting on election
day and if civic duty calls on me, I'll go on jury duty every so many
years.

Every lawn in suburbia has its dandelions.

 CH>   Exactly.

Good, now cajole the you know who's to mind their P's and Q's if they dont
want to contend with certain people in here.. :)

Highly unlikely since the history between all parties is mostly hostile.

 CH>  Well well well! Okay. I'm sorry. If there was a message on this I

Bob and I were brought in by Steve when a certain mail mover, who is mostly
impotent now, was doing some whacky things with this echo and POL_INC.

I maintain the listing of this echo and Bob and I simply keep an eye open.
