Funny, I haven't heard anyone say that. Must of missed those posts.

*L* Couldn't resist including a little slam in your call-for-tolerance

>If we have simple, common-sense rules of politeness, it just makes more sense.
By George, you're right! [apologies to any George-worshipers]. How did
our list ever survive for 10+ years with out your rules?
In the spirit of tolerance and understanding, I'd like to register my
religious beliefs. My church believes in a Special Hell for child
molesters, control freaks, condescending posters, and people who talk in
the theater. ;-)
