<HTML>Hi George, I\'ve never once jeered or belittled you for one of your messages, but I\'m about to start. (Insert smiley face here.)
Don\'t let a few people intimidate you into ceasing to post. It\'s always easier to sit back in the bushes and snipe at another\'s contribution rather than posting something to start with. Of course, this doesn\'t mean there won\'t be challenges and disagreements but I think most of us can pretty easily tell when someone crosses the line between questioning an assertion of yours...and belittling or jeering you personally. And when we do see the personal attacks, we again regret this format has no \"killfile\" and go to the next substantive message as quickly as possible.
Fer cry\'n out loud, let\'s keep the substantive postings and ignore the trash...or as they say here in Oklahoma...\"You come on back now, you heah?\"
