This is my problem with OT posts lately. They all seem to degenerate into name
calling or rueness sooner or later. As one who last round orginally advocated
for
OT posts as being ok the rancor and insults are forcing me to change my mind.
While I don't mind off topic posts per se, I certainly object to insults and
inneundo being posted on what was once a very friendly list. Things really have
gotten out of hand as of late. Each of us deal with things in our own way.
