Flames and wine Tim, I see your point. I think one thing that has gotten several people (myself included) on edge, has been the number of trolls to the group, as of late. These have taken several forms, from S-Posting to non-wine-food NGs, to several posts attempting to poke some real "fun" at the subscribers here. I've noticed similar increases in trolling (all types) in many technical NGs over the same period, so it might just be the phases of the moon at the moment. Now, there are a few HOT topics, around which there is much contention. Some feel very strongly, one way, or the other. So long as the discussion is kept to the subject, and not to the poster, I see nothing wrong with it. Now, giving up something for Lent is a needlely subject with me. My wife suggested that she was going to give up WINE!!!!!! "No Way!" I snapped. I can't stand to drink alone, and I can't get my roudy wino friends over each evening. She finally chose to give up love, and claims that I probably will not notice the 40 days... Hm-m-m, I think giving up flaming is far preferable, or maybe giving up American Idol, or something totally meaningless to me, but then I'm not Catholic. Your point is well taken, though. Hunt
