Ignore the stupid/rude threads (and set your NG reader to download headers only, so you don't waste time waiting for stuff you don't want to downlaod.) Put the worst of the jerks in your kill file.

We all agree on everything. Never a voice of dissention, never a conflicting opinion, never a difference of philosophy..............................

We all like the same things, we all do things the same way, we all have the same goals, we all achieve equally..................

If you are too young to know what the Borg is, ask and you will find out. If you don't know who Sam Cooke is........well......tough!.........F>

A difference of philosophy is fine. It is all in how you present it and react to someone else when they present their side. Name calling is not necessary. If you want a world of peace, start with yourself. Don't resort to name calling or making the argument personal. If someone calls you a name (other than what you have told them to call you) don't respond to the slur. Stick to the facts and don't demean the other person.

I fully agree!

Wasn't meant as a personal response Brian. I was merely Pontificating in a general sort of way.

You are quite right about being civil. It is a difficult thing for some people to learn to do. But, we have to live with it. Is there anyone still here who remembers Gegg?

You got one in a 747? I used a streach 727. I like long, narrow layouts. We should start a new group. The "mile high club" No, I think that is taken.....

True, but that's a different sort of 'turbulence', isn't it?
