But a couple things to keep in mind if I may take the liberty of offering some observations. --Allowing oneself the freedom to throw out a quip here and there, even an occasional rant... regardless of subject matter is really cool with most people. But if you get carried away the group will let you know about it... in their own special way :) Go with the flow when you can. --Being baubaciously bombastic seems to incite all kinds of reactionary verbal violence, even when jesting. --Long drawn out expundulations of extraraneous extrapolation are extremely difficult to follow, and irr the temper when agressive in content. --Getting drawn into a flame fight is nearly always a bad idea, tho difficult to avoid sometimes I am sure. A good sign of this happening seems to be when you find yourself whipping out 5 - 6 posts in a row in a desperate defence of some position you have taken. --Realize that anytime you get beyond describing the weather in you part of the world, you risk somebody getting all huffy about what you have to say. And remember... everyone has your private mailbox and some feel no compunctionary reason why they should not just stuff their unsolicited head in your e-door and throw all manner of unsavoury insults in your e-face as it were. --People for some reason dont like << Grin >> included in your posts more then approximately once a week.... grin. And finally and most important of all. Most every person on this list are very fine and extremly helpfull individuals in their own right. The vast majority will put up with quite a lot from an individual, probably because that same vast majority realizes that they are just as human as the next guy. Personally, I enjoy nearly all of what you and all my other list neighbors contribute each day for my reading pleasure. Cheers ! RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
