I've been there too, forums etc. I'm also on IRC all the time, have been for a decade or more, you want dictatorships try #macintosh on undernet...pretty legendary (that's not a slam on mac users I go to plenty of mac channels that are great). I wouldn't want anyone censored here, I don't like letting myself get that irritable in public...I try to reserve that weakness for my wife so she has the chance to point and laugh. I apologize to the list, and to Tom, next time I'll do what I usually do after writing such things, hit the discard button instead of send. It almost feels as good.
