Q: swadener bryan.swadener@comcast.net wrote yonzie id bet the farm on you being in the small minority. theres no technical value to the name-calling and chest-thumping and certainly no entertainment value. i wonder if those involved in the flame war even recall what the original question was let-alone any reasonable explanations. im not saying we should always agree -- and i dont expect us to. however since were all adults here and this is a public forum its not unreasonable to expect all of us to act with discretion. there are many other means for those involved in their tit-for-tat fracas to resolve it without involving the rest of us. thank you bryan bryan swadener bryan.swadener@comcast.net wrote i speak for myself and i expect many others. i am sooooo t-i-r-e-d of this thread that quickly got off-topic and then deteriorated into a name-calling feud. on behalf of myself and others who feel this way to those involved and you know who you are puhleeeeeze stop your bickering and name-calling. or at least please take it out of the group -- i/we dont want to see it and have it cause other valid on-topic civilized discussions to be pushed off the server. thank you bryan i vote to let it stay bryan i should of put at the end of my statement. i was just joking. now if you want to bet the farm are you involved in farming or is it just a saying because farms aint worth shit nowadays. dale i apologize for jumping to a contusion or something like that! i sure am no farmer just a city boy -- and the only thing that grows well in my yard are @#$%*# weeds! bryan ^ .
