The #1 characteristic of internet forums is that because you can't see the other person, because they are just a string of blue text, people are way more aggressive. It is simply the reality of the internet. "I disagree" -> "Only a fool would believe that, ....", and so on. Obviously, there are some things that go to far, and that is why this is a moderated forum :) But in general, I think a good rebuttal goes a lot further than leaving in a huff. You already gave one, and its up to Vincent to answer it. anthony
