Mr. Garrison,

At last. you acknowledge there are rules against Flaming? Thank you for that recognition. However, could I ask when you had this sudden and recent realization? Certainly it must have occurred sometime between your previous posts in this thread, and this most recent post of yours?

Oh - and feel free to "Flame" me back, Bill. I would look forward to the opportunity to treat you, as you seem so capable and willing to treat others in a public forum and format. However, you may be at a slight advantage, as I am not so sure I am as well practiced as you, sir. But I am not a â??Newbieâ? either â?? so that may be a point in my favor, as you tend to focus on those â??new-comersâ?. At the same time though, some may say I don't have the patience, grace and manners to deal with situations as Mr. Sabato has shown â?? so you choose your own destiny in this one.

Oh â?? and here is a quote I truly appreciate. You may recognize the author:â??â?¦Life is not always about "positive commentsâ?.

Bill, I guess â??thisâ? post of mine is one of â??thoseâ? comments to which you allude. But for the sake of argument, you should be pleased to know you have driven more people from this Forum then you have â??enrapturedâ? and â??captivatedâ? with your pearls of sarcasm and offensive abuse â?? mildly cushioned by your knowledge you begrudgingly share in an open and well-intentioned manner. I would know about their thoughts â?? I get their private e-mails. I doubt they would ever electively communicate with you, so I do not think you can share this same perspective. Can you blame them? I certainly donâ??t.

Iâ??m sure you have an entirely different perspective. Iâ??m not certain I would want to be at the same level so I could consider empathizing with your perspective, however.

No Flame intended, of course. In fact - you might have the courtesy to also thank John and I for perhaps not providing you with "positive comments", but rather â?? the truth about your own conduct in these Forums. I do believe I read something like that in this same thread - perhaps you could remind me where I saw that?
