I don't advocate any flaming. In fact, I am opposed to it as a practice. See the list archive for my message on flaming and my thoughts on the phrase "RTFM." The point I was trying to make only applies minutely to this list anyway. "A little rude" is a subjective phrase, and I don't think what Mike J said was all that rude, despite the use of *F* in certain acronyms. That's why they're acronyms. Despite the fact that our delivery may not always be diplomatic, I value the opinions of all the people with whom I butt heads. Yes, virtual tempers flare here and there, but it's the discourse that's important. Let's just not forget that there's a human being on the other end. RFC's are more useful when they're not used to compare human beings with protocols.
