John
I first had the same feeling as you do when I came to the list,but one must
take in alittle humor and alittle heat or this would be alot like
school.(and I liked to skip school)So it gets broken up a bit.Once you see
the names over and over you know whats coming,so just hit delete if you
don't want to read that crap.The bad thing about this list most new comers
on their first post get flamed for dum shit they have said.So they back off
never ask the questions they need to get answers to so they can dive
better.This is bad,but do like everyoneelse insult the asshole back.Ask
your questions,state your views,learn all you can it may help you.NO ONE ON
THIS LIST IS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE!!! and as Dan Volker likes to say "If
you don't beleive me ,just ask George he'll tell you":)
