Can you guys please give the "name calling" a rest? Let's take a few
moments and all try and grow up just a little. I haven't heard women
bicker this much. Just because some jug head makes an ass out of himself
doesn't mean the rest of us need to try and top him. In many cases the
responses are just as juvenile as the posting which started the flames.
