Phil,

I've learned two things about Yahoo groups after reading and posting
many tens of thousands of messages...

One; There are a LOT of different personalities out there.

Two: A whole LOT is misunderstood due to limitations of emails.

The answer to both of these IMO is to choose your battles carefully.
If somebody wants to behave a certain way, they will. That's point
one. BUT, the way I "think" they are behaving may be incorrect
because I'm missing some part of what they're doing--or missed an
element of a thread, etc. That's point two.

I've often had something I "said" misunderstood. Or made what I
thought was a humorous post, only to offend.

There's an entire WORLD of people out there, AND in here...

I'm not gonna get along with every one of them, OR understand each of
them. (points one and two again<G>)

Hope this helps,

Ballendo
