Thanks for jumping in and helping out. I was wondering though, why is it
that with every little effort to help there seems to be that slight jab at
someones intelligence or ability to do something that you feel you can do
better? When I offer to help someone I do it out of a sincere desire to help
someone not to belittle them. If someone falls and I lend a hand up I don't
chastise them for falling, I simply offer the help. I will in the future do
my very best to "read headers" so as not to offend or spark any major
controversies. Again, thank-you for your kind help and advice.

Why do people in NG's fight about everything? I don't see neighbours at war
over whether one eats meat and the other doesn't, do you? In the NG's its a
common occurence to see people fighting with such furor that its almost
frightening. If you disagree with the majority of bullies that runs whatever
NG you are "loon" or a "troll" or whatever other name they label you with.
Certainly there must be others who lurk out there that are sick of this and
want to speak up but don't want the hassles that come with it. Speak up,
lets hear from you so the number of sane people can be seen and perhaps you
can start your own forum somewhere where you can eliminate the "bullies and
just get back to having decent discussions without name calling and rude
people.
