Javvi, I agree with HT, Raph, and Jephael-- don't let some idiot discourage you. Remember, it's not like he had to pass an IQ test to send out flame email... Since I don't have any TMNT stuff online (yet...), I've never had the online problem, but one of my officemates continually makes fun of me when I wear my TMNT shirts or my visor. (He also thinks I have crappy taste in music and isn't afraid to say so.) He's not a bad guy, just a little misguided. But, the more he mentions how dumb he thinks it is, the more I wear it. I'm not going to give him the honor (honour?) of making my mind up for me. (I get lots of compliments on them from the other folks at work anyway!) There are basically three ways to deal with an idiot who sends you flame email: deal with it nicely, deal with it not-so-nicely, or don't deal with it. The way I see it, you win any way you do it-- either you show the guy up, you get the satisfaction of telling him he's a bad person, or you ignore it and save yourself the energy. My two cents only. Back to the fussy lawnmower and the jungle/backyard, -Mikey
