Thank you Tim for reminding us all of this. As one who at times has been known to use sarcasm in a response, I promise to attempt to rehabilitate myself. I would suggest, however, that the topics that are discussed on a list like this inspire passion and sometimes that will create passionate responses. Some of the passionate responses also help give an insight to the feelings that exist out there in the world. For those of us who post frequently and do have passion on an issue at times we don't realize that we have gotten "personal" and your interventions are helpful. For example last week, I don't think Tom or I felt that we were being "personal," but your intervention helps put it in perspective. Again, thank you for your efforts.
