I have no problem with him requesting an answer to a question. I have a serious problem with him demanding an answer to a question, and commanding another freeper to shut up. Before you tee off on me, AlguyA, perhaps you should read the rest of Brian's posts to me on this thread.
I have. And I stick by my original point, angelo. I said the 'be silent' part may have been a little tough. But I maintain that when a thread is posted on one topic and someone tries to drag it off-topic, the person who started the thread has a right to focus the attention of those responding to the issues at hand.
You are a good man, angelo, but you, too, have not been granted a license to police the forum. For you to demand a poster to post according to your rules is no different than that poster demanding someone answer his question.
Peace be with you.
