hasher, Everything you said was OK Except, you infer that I am the instigator of the sniping, insults etc. That is simply not the case and you know that.
From JS on down, the majority jump in to conversations that were not directed at them (yea, I know it's a public board), with a very high percentage of the input being derogatory to the poster. In general, the board simply sits and waits for people like jimmy to post so that you can bash his thinking; dig into the archives to present a supposition or opinion that you state as fact. Why don't you ignore the posts you don't agree with and move on?
In my very limited and humble opinion you represent the "pot calling the kettle black".
