Sure is interesting watching folks get into a pissing match when all someone did is help someone out with a simple request. MD helped someone, and others took offense, which MD took offense. Why belabor the point? Mal helped someone out where others didn't. Why say anything at all. Give it a rest guys. Thanks, Malleus for helping someone out with a request that would have taken me more than a few minutes to find. If you have to post, then please... ask yourself why you are doing it. It isn't needed to complain about a poster when that poster ACTUALLY helped someone. I mean come on.. decency says if you can't help, you can at least acknowledge the good deed done. If not, then it becomes someone looking for a fight and you know how things are going to be about flaming or decency standards.. so leave it be.. and to all parties, flaming is not what happened here.. just a minor argument. Let's keep it that way, yes?

"A flame may have elements of a normal message, but is distinguished by its intent. A flame is never intended to be constructive, to further clarify a discussion, or to persuade other people."

Enjoyed a description of another board's view of flaming, but, I think this thread didnt meet the standards, no matter how much everyone wished it.
You might want to pass that on to Henry. I wonder how many folks would like being held to that standard..? We would all be guilty, I think!

That's not from a board; it's from an encyclopedia.
