And then there is 'freedom of choice'. You can choose to read or ignore, participate on not participate. Why is it that some people think that if THEY aren't interested in something, everyone else should just shut up about it. If there is no interest in a subject, it will die a natural death, or if it becomes too confrontational, Nigel will kill it. Why is it that some people feel that they have the god-given right to decide (for the rest of us) if something is insignificant or not? I think that we are perfectly capable of making those decisions for ourselves. Don't like a thread? Just move on. It's easy.
