Exactly. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. For example: > (DS) > If you were called upon to do a fine regulation of existing dampers, > would you first pull the tray and install capstans? > (RN) > Stupid question.

BOTH questions are stupid---or, more precisely, facetious and rhetorical, purely designed to irritate---and RN is simply, and self- deprecatingly, pointing out the truth by calling both questions, and all of the facetious leading questions that are asked around here, which in my view you would never ask in person---they would sound aggressive, and mean, and, yes, stupid---crap. One person was not calling another person crap, or stupid. Emotions sometimes cloud our ability to perceive what's really going on. I suggest 1. a closer, more thoughtful reading of any perceived slight, and 2. to just chill the *&%!! out. <g> With love and respect--- David Andersen On Dec 26, 2008, at 10:40 AM, Dean May wrote: > I think the best guidelines are to just develop a thicker skin- eat > the meat, spit out the bone.
