George - Even though I was a bit rude to you recently, you make a good
point here.

If more people spent time just being nice, doesn't it stand to reason,
that the posts will be more appropriate for all audiences? And also
possibly have more value to a Usenet group that should have an agenda
towards what it was created for?

I apologize for any rudeness I may have shared with you. I will try to
do better.
