Hyatt's taken his share of crap. :-) One of the lessons I've learned about discussion forums, and I suppose about the internet in general, is that you've got to have thick skin. I once (not too long ago) got an email from a 'Jim Massie' that simply said "you guys suck." I replied, and he replied back. Turns out "we suck" because we (my wife and I) have content about our Christian faith on our personal homepage. Apparently Mr. Massie took offence. And, by the way, "we should expect that." Not sure where the fellow got my home page URL; maybe he's a lurker on this site, but I'm not sure. Anyway, to make a long story longer, you really have to take anything you read here with a grain of salt. I think a lot of people are a little 'more rude' than they would be face to face, simply because they can get away with more. You've got two options. You can let others get to you, or you can move on. I know, easier said than done... :-) -- James > > > >On August 06, 1999 at 23:06:29, Lawrence S.
