Either way, no one needs to be bathed in hot oil for making those types of suggestions. No one gets any prizes here for winning, and no one ever seems to win an argument on an internet forum. People just get tired of arguing and stop writing, maybe driving away potential forum regulars, and possibly frustrating the Lurking audience. It would be nice to have a civil discussion, beat the horse to death if neccesary, then move on to a more interesting discussion where everyones dignity and respect for one another remains intact.
