Your opinion wasn't under attack by me.  Just your lack of netiquette.  Say
what you want.  But for heaven's sake, don't quote a 300 line post to say
me too.  Make your comments at _least_ 10% of the total thing.  If you want
to add "me too".  no problem. But cut the quoted stuff to 10 significant lines
or so to reduce the size of the post.

none of us wants to read every post 10 times...
