speaking solely for myself, i believe this would be a much better and more satisfying experience if we could all dial back on the vitriol, and minimize the "me Tarzan" chest thumping sessions that seem to proliferate periodically. we gather here because we have common interests - i suggest it would be beneficial to concentrate on those interests we share, and pay less attention to the areas where we might disagree.

best regards,
tom
