Being one of the two individuals whom Reynolds consistently insulted (specifically in the thread of his which was yanked), I was happy to see the moderators doing their job (and it didn't bother me that he took his ball and went home). I was also impressed by the professional wording of their message to him and I also noted that even with his post being removed, the reponses to his yanked post (which had his insult snipped out) still enabled him to gain the responses he desired, so there was no information lost. His response sounded like sour grapes to me. It's a shame that you will have a few bad apples (I must be on a fruit kick right now) in any group, but it is probably inevitable. Well, got to go read the other 1300 messages that I missed last week. KarinsDad
