I'm always surprised by people who quit the newsgroups because they received some criticism. No-one knows who you are, so taking anyone else's posts to heart will just lead to an early grave. Nothing that is posted here is face-to-face, so we miss the voice and facial inflections that often convey a completely different meaning than that portrayed by the written word. Also, we cannot readily tell when someone is leading us on, or when they truly believe what they have written. My point is, if something upsets you, just ignore it. It will have no bearing on you in the rest of your life, so it seems silly to give up a newsgroup and subject that you obviously enjoy, just because someone else didn't agree with you. I'm not criticizing you here. I just learned this lesson the hard way, and now I enjoy the newsgroups much more. Richard
