Jonathan,
I may be able to really make you wonder what the heck some people are made
of here. An off topic thread was started here and I responded to it well
after it had some good momentum and two or three had the gall to post
extremely hateful stuff to me and told me to SHUT UP, so go figure. One
individual wrote me a nasty email through some anonymous post forwarder,
didn't even have the moral courage to allow me to respond to his elementary
defication. All I was doing was the very same thing others were doing but
for unknown reasons I caught loads of hateful posts, so I try hard not to
respond to off topic stuff as I don't need the stress at my age.
I hope this goes to you and not the list but I'm not really very computer
literate.
Sonny
