Right. What some many of these whiners consider "flaming" is any
contradiction, correction, redirection, or anything else less than
bending over backwards to accomodate them.
Too many people have failed to learn basic netiquette. Things like:
lurk in the newsgroup for at least week and read all back messages,
find and read the FAQ for the group, take criticism with a dash of
humility and don't take it personally as it probably wasn't meant that
way.
