What is your problem with this thread, Mark. Why can you just not STAND it if the people who are talking talk? Why do you want them to be SILENT? You talk about other people soiling, smearing, etc., and you are one of the worse offenders. Jonathon comes on here and makes a few legitimate points and you start going ballistic. What the hell is wrong with you? What dog do you have in the hunt? Or, are you just supposed to be the person to tell other people when to stop. You try to do a +1000 but, like the rest of us, you only have a +1 at best. This is what community here is really about and I for one am happy to see that not everyone is afraid to talk about what really happens on the list versus what you and others like you perpetrate. I would personally like to thank Jonathon for coming by. His presence has already led to improvements in the website. Do you have anything you would like to say other than you want other people to stop talking?
