Up to a point I find the off-topic stuff kind of funny... it's like a small town where all the old retired guys sit on the front porch of the old hardware store and BS all day. But when the stort of stuff we're seeing lately shows up, it's no longer charming. The types who engage in the invective we're seeing thrive on attention. Argument and returned insults are exactly what they're seeking. The response should be cold silence. Don't respond to it, don't argue with them, don't acknowledge their presence on the porch until they act like adults. That's my two bits worth. Brian
