I'm a bit surprised RRob chucked a turd into this punchbowl of love. Not at all like Senor Recoil.

I do know the medium can easily lead to unintended offense. Lord knows I've done it by mistake. An unedited fast reply that has more insult than question. Amusing to me is snide to the reader. My solution to the emotional ambiguity of a BBS - if I'm going to be offensive; leave no doubt to the intended message, get out the 2x4 and provide clarity.
