There is an old saying that goes:

 "When you're arguing with a fool, make sure he isn't doing the same thing".

Native Americans might say:
 "Listen or your tongue will keep you deaf"

And from Proverbs we get:
“Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise.” (Prov. 
19:20.)

I lurk on this list finding hidden pearls in the broken shells of the threads 
as they fill up my inbox.
Lately the pearls have been of low quality. And the broken shells unusually 
sharp and cutting.
And it seems now the shells are being thrown wildly about.

Which reminds me of what my mother might say:
 "It is a lot of fun until somebody loses an eye."

And finally my magyar side of the family might say:
 "Okos enged, szamár szenved."
 Loosely translated as "The wise yield - the ass suffers."

As you can see I have only borrowed wisdom.
I hope the wisdom FW  has been lending me causes no lasting harm.

cheers
Stephen
