Some people simply sit by and watch. And then there are always a few that not only don't contribute, but want to take subtle (or not-so-subtle) pot shots at those that do contribute. I get less bothered by the pot shots as time goes on... I've about decided that this kind of nonsense is just about as common as the internet hacker types and their continued DOS attacks and break-in attempts... It is here to stay, and there is little that can be done about it. Some just have too much time on their hands, and not enough to do that is productive...
