Jon,

   Thanks for this post. Maybe if everyone this type of thing happens
to would do exactly what your last line says, this type of small-minded,
venemous posting  would stop. At least they might think twice about how
their post was worded.
   Discuss, agree, disagree, have your own opinion and post it, but don't
try to deny someone else his/her opinion by posting hate mail. NO one on
this list is *that* perfect.
   Ed Tomlinson made a post yesterday that, to me, is a perfect example of
how to do this. He disagreed very strongly with a post Les Smith had made
but it was not done in a "hate mail" type of way. It was well thought out,
expressed *his* opinion and how/why he disagreed.
   Just *my* opinion.
