Same here, Charles. I don't think the list is *that* inflammatory (last wk
excepted), but it is the nature of the medium, with the reply icon only a
mouse click away, that thoughtless responses happen. Some of us are more
restrained than others. Thankfully we don't all pop off, but sometimes
those thoughtless responses spawn worthwhile dialog. So, yes, let's think
before we act, but let's also not be so quick to condemn points of view
that we deem stupid. 

Jim: I'm sure I'm not the only one who looks forward to hearing about what
you're doing, etc. Keep it up!
