Everyone has their moments, including myself, when we post
regreted, idiotic, obnoxious, or curt replies. Some join a list as the
more irritating juvenile members, later to become some of the more
valuable ones. Best 'rule' I've repeatedly seen on public BBS,
newsgroups and mailing lists for a long long time is, "don't wear your
feelings on your shirt sleeve", and if offended ... use the Ignore
<Delete> key.
OTOH, those that post with HTML ought'a be taken out and shot ;>
