Yeah. Tell everyone you're putting me on your ignore list (since it is better to ignore an alternative point of view than lose an argument to it), but I know privately you still can't help but to read my responses Haha!

This is becoming incredibly childish, people - let's act like adults and keep this board from becoming the MB equivalent of a Yahoo! discussion forum, ok?

Gentlemen, WHHHOOOOAAAAA! I have read thoughtful and informative posts from all of you. I have read funny posts from all of you. I have read some posts from all of you that I disagreed with and in some cases that were irritating to me. I am sure that I have written posts that some or all of you have disagreed with and that some or all of you might have been irritated by.

But, I think that is the nature of the forum approach to communication. We really don't know the character or personality of other members. We don't actually know whether a remark that seems irritating is intended that way or as a humorous remark.

Even with those drawbacks, the forum provides a wonderful means of communicating with others who do care enough about the subject to come back, read, post and, yes, "spout off". I have had exchanges with folks from the US, Malaysia, Panama, UK, Canada, Kuwait, etc. etc. There is no way I would ever have had the opportunity to do that without MBWorld's forum.

With that comes the part of reading stuff that I don't like and that may irritate me. Well, actually, that makes the experience more interesting to me. I made a post once that sort of capsulizes this for me. That is that differences of opinion make the "world" (MBWorld and otherwise) a better place. If everyone agreed with ElDiabloJoe, etenn, Jim Banville and/or jhb, think how boring this would be. We would not learn anything, much less be so entertained.
