[Cicero]

If you put a chip on your shoulder, someone is sure to knock it off.

I missed the original thread, but if you got flamed it was probably more a matter of the tone of your comments than the substance. A lot of us agree that NASA got into a pretty sorry state at the top levels during the clinton years, and a lot of us know that bureaucrats reflexively cover their *sses.

Besides, sometimes people get flamed for no good reason at all. Take it in stride. That's life.

Sounds like the boy has problems.

I remember that thread, and he got busted because of the ninny packs running around hereabouts who do take a line and bark at any variance from it. He was clear in what he said and no malice to it.

Sorry, Cicero, but there's an error in that assumption. I defended someone--can't say for sure it was this poster--who posted a suggestion similar to the one under discussion here, who was instantly attacked because he had a recent member-since date, as often happens here. It's an infantile practice IMO and it goes on a lot.
