Marc, I enjoy reading your posts quite alot, but need to respond in the negative to this one. People have been upset with Miko for posting many off-topic posts of late, and this one at least to me is quite on-topic, and one that I found rather interesting and thought-provoking. -Regardless whether it's opinion or not... <smile> to me at least, it's sort of like dis'ing someone when they're only doing what you've asked them to. Wouldn't you say?... I also think the Check your meds comment is unfair, insulting and harsh, and maybe not the best or most polite way of showing your frustration, not to mention, on a public forum. -a bit hurtful, don't ya think? -Miko has afterall, mentioned this, apologized for OT posts, and was ready to leave the list. -To me, your comment is a bit much, to say the least... These are obviously just my opinions, but I for one really enjoyed reading that post, whether I agreed or not. Have a great night, K?
