I agree. I've read the posts here and am truly amazed at some of the gratuitous, unpleasant remarks over what appeared to me to be a reasonable question. Let's face it, not everyone is as familiar with the "Rules" here (Including me) as some of the veterans. Why not just help a person out rather than criticize or make snide comments?

The best rule of FR is don't post an article for a while just sit back and enjoy the movement and pithy comments.
We were all new once 'cept Jim Robinson
Maybe because this board is infested with smart@sses. I hate 'em.
Yeah there are gratuitous unpleseant remarks that are made by people everyday here and everywhere. Are you going to ask the whole world to just get along. Everyone has their own opinons and are free to express them. Just as you and spikeyinwis are free to ignore those that you don't find to you liking. It is called being adult about it. If you are that sensative that you are offend by some offhand comments whether in jest or poking close to the truth of that matter, perhaps there are other forums that you need to explore. This is a Free place to speak freely only guided by the Mods and Jim Robinson himself. If Jim or the Mods deem anything said here is out of line they will pull it. conversly if you think it is abusive it is with in you rights to report it. If it does not fit either of those just ignore it and move on. Spikeyinwi needs to learn to roll with the punches. If he wants a group love society where everyone will say nice things and agree with his ideas that is what the DU is for. This is for the exchange and discussion of idea.
