I understand your point, and mostly agree.
 
It is a good place to encourage operating practice changes, and to exchange
technical information. I think we *need* to keep on each other about
operating practices, and its MUCH better here than on top of a JY9 (which
happened again last night, right AFTER I was done with him <grin>).

Unfortunately, the reflector gets a little personal and even hostile at
times. It sure isn't a place to start a fist-fight or call anyone a name.
Disagreements are great, certainly when we all agree no one learns anything.
Personal insults directed to an individual or group are unnecessary when
making a point.
