I agree with Jennifer, a bit more reasonable a level of discourse from some posters would be appreciated. This has nothing to do with SOLO managment though. Great site and great job to Linz, Joe, and Jeff! Individual posters could do well to temper their responses with reason. It's a tough balance between being rational and being passionate about what you're saying. All in all this site is full of wonderful people and generally a pleasant level of discourse. It's only been the tone on several recent threads that became annoying.

Robert, may I suggest a double dosage?

And I believe you meant to say:  the website you rode in on...

Michael, why do you keep sending others into the kitchen? I thought it was our private space. All these orgies in the kitchen are wearing me out.

Clearly, I'll never get any justice here on SOLO.

If calling Robert "Bobs" is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

If I had a dime for every time I've been called Roddy, I'd have a dime.

Bob,

You say:

"Thomas, to his credit, defended his ideas rationally and articulately without resorting to the same mudslinging."

Thank you for the sentiments ... but I throw mud as well as anyone else, and would classify at least some of my remarks in that thread as intemperate.

Personally, I don't mind people playing the dozens, as long as they keep it _interesting_. A particular insult may say something important about the person at whom it is hurled (or about the person doing the hurling). Once it's been recycled 50 times and goes into general usage, it's just noise instead of signal.

Appreciate the pics, btw.

Regards,
Tom Knapp
