My mistake, Nigel, no offense intended.

But the decision to moderate a LITTLE more tightly, recently seems to have payed off, and my guess is that if this level of forced behavior (no-one was moderating themselves, for sure!) is continued consistently for a few months, those that actually WANT to sling mud will go elsewhere, and those that just react to it will no longer have cause...

But whatever the reason, it IS nice to see some more civility here! Kudos! Keep it up...!
