I value the contributions of Jim, Marc, Sal and Austin, without necessarily agreeing with them. There are times when I do not like the tone of someone's post, but I usually just let it slide by. Life is too short to get engaged in pissing contests on the Internet. If you guys want to flame each other, do it off the list. Thanks.
