And I understand yours, however, I have noticed a recent increase in
"borderline" comments. By borderline, I'm saying things that you may not
conciously have intended as inflammatory, but are. This, in turn, sets off
someone's flame-mode, and well, you all know where it goes from there.
I'm not to concerned about the list degenerating into chaos, but I do like
to see us getting along and discussing things rationally, so I will request
this: Please be careful what you say, and try not to call someone an
idiot. Even if you know for a fact that they are 100% certifiably stupid.
;) And while this is (unfortunately) directed at Wayne (you were well
timed), it also applies to some other members of our list. Remember, you
get more flies with honey, etc. etc.
And just because some of you actually read my messages, here is today's
secret: Get your rubicite armour while you still can.

In service,
