Now hold on there D'Aprano! Don't lump me in with Mark's bad
behavior. Hey, when i got out of line the other day, i
"self-policed". And don't forget, I myself have been on the
receiving end of Mark's vitriol *MANY* times.

I will have to agree with the others, that Mark's tone has
taken a more aggressive "turn for the worst" in the last few
months. He seems to have lost his patience, has become
overly repetitive with the "RTFM responses", and a bit too
pedantic with the noobs.

Mark, you've got to calm down man. Listen, if you need to
vent, go curse someone out on alt.flame, or some other low
brow group. That's what i do. And the best part is, nobody
even bats an eyelash over there. ;-). 

We need to try to maintain at least a modicum of dignity
here. Nobody wants this group to become a "flamers
paradise". But if all else fails, them flame me. I can
handle it. But for Pete's sake, don't take it out on the
noobs bro!
