I am in complete agreement Walt. I'm not one who contributes often
but have been following for years. What all of us need to remember (both old
and new members) is that there is a right and a wrong way to express a
different opinion or to respond to criticism (hopefully constructive). Let's
keep the hackles in place.
Another thing to remember is that this is an international forum for
many of whom English is a second or perhaps third language. the trap for a
primary English speaker is to read too much into someones choice of words or
syntax.
Let's keep it friendly folks.

Subject: Re: [OM] An observation
Am I the only one noticing a definite decline in civility around
here in the last couple of weeks? I'm not mentioning any names,
but some folks I had never heard of this time last month have
appeared and, not to mince words, are rude and obnoxious know-it-
alls. I may be the list curmudgeon, but I think the title of list
asshole is up for grabs.
