Fair warning. Knock off the off-topic extracurriculars regarding this thread. And that includes nastygram freepmails. If you get one, don’t post it in the forum, forward it to Admin Moderator or Jim Robinson for review.
If you can’t say it in the open forum, don’t say it via freepmail.
I tried being polite and that does not seem to be working. Can’t we all just stick to the topic in question in the face of a looming disaster?
