{My soap box on}

True - the patrons are given the chance to let steam off in the bar, but
when they get too rowdy the bartender / bouncer asks them to take it
outside.  If they continue to be problems, they're banned from the bar. 
Yes!!! everyone needs the chance to flame at times, but when that's all
they do nobody wants to be around them.  If you feel the drastic need to
beat the hell out of the other patrons, take it outside - send e-mail to
the individual instead of to everybody.  ALL e-mails have the
originating address.

We already have one local redneck bar where the patrons beat each other
up and the band has a chicken wire cage around it to protect it from
flying debris.  Let's get back to the real issues here.  DIVING and
getting as much real information as possible.   

Nissa  -  OH!! if anyone is interested in flaming me privately my email
address is NHL1@vi*.ne*.
