Hey chet,

Like I always say, alls swell that ends swell when everyone means swell.

We're both better men for it...whatever it was.

Regards...

sorry for the interruption CP

Pardon...just passing thru.

As you were...

Look.  I have an idea.  I suggested it before and now I will post it openly in plain language.  As most know, I have had somewhat of a personality conflict with Buzz/Meltdown/Cabinboy, etc. (All the same person)   I really believe that, instead of subjecting others on a topic with flames and anti flames, everyone involved should take it to pm.  I think this may be the computer age equivalent of "hey, let's step outside."  This should already have been, and should be, good etiquette for any forum.

Trust me, I know this is hard to do if someone says something publicly about you, or your ideas, or your mother.  It is hard to respond in private when the attack was out in the open.  It is a slippery slope and once began, hard to stop.  We have all seen it and I have been guilty of it myself.  We would all agree that this is counter productive and probably drives away others who may have had something good to say. 

As my grandmother once said: "It takes two to argue."  I will now make a great effort to follow this idea and if I have a problem with what someone posts on a topic, I will take it private and either fix the misunderstanding, or call their mother some kind of name....who knows?

This is not directed at any one in particular with the exception of maybe me.  If someone posts that they think I am an idiot, I can pm them and try to convince them I am not, or, I can call them an idiot as well.  Whatever.  At least it will not disrupt the others and sidetrack someone's topic.

Others can choose to follow this, or not.  This is the way I am going to respond to any future altercations involving myself.

Sorry for the off-topic post......

Bill
