And additional reasons for needing a thick skin... I'm sorry about the computer. But take Aaron Tay here for instance, if he hadn't complained at Mogens' about the lack of response he was getting here and if you hadn't talked about his posts in the Winboard forum, I'd still be thinking "Hm, this Aaron , I don't know, where did he come from all of a sudden?" It's often only after getting some more background from each other that you see people talking more freely, even though it then can get off topic sometimes. But there is off topic and off topic, I mean in itself that qualification is pretty useless, in my opinion. Eelco
