The key is to edit our responses so people can't get the wrong idea...
or maybe I should say will be less likely to get the wrong idea. A tall
order in this era of texting shorthand, bad grammar and spelling...
along with an inability of many people to string together words,
sentences and paragraphs in a coherent fashion.

Both sides have a point in this 'dick' thing, if the 'try turning
the sound on' comment is the issue. As for myself, when I saw that
comment, all I thought was yeah, sometimes the sound ain't turned
up enough or at all... that's happened to me occasionally. I
didn't see that manner of comment as a putdown or sarcastic in any
way, since this forum is full of people who are just here to help,
and to get help... not to be a bunch of trolls.
Others who are having a bad day, or are just testy by nature,
might see that comment as smart-ass and sarcastic. That's their
problem... they are on the wrong page.

As list members we are required to adhere to the Netiquette as much as
humanly possible as a part of the terms of LEM use. That includes
being nice to one another.
The way in which both OPs unfortunatereply and the reply which
provoked it were given were inflammmatory and ill worded. We have
often over the years seen these territorial marking matches. Which
have a place in quick street confrontations where you never expect to
see the person again but are crude and unthinking for a "civilized"
list such as LEm.
Don't we all want to be treated better. if we are having a bad day
with our comuter failing when we need it most and we are on edge do we
need someone making a cutting comment. And if we make a cutting
comment should we feel self righteous when the person reacts with anger.
Please friends, go into maturity mode.
