This is the first time I have ever done this. People, let me repeat myself: It's often interesting to see what newer people have to say. But this particular one struck a chord, in that at the time, we lamented loudly over how that thread was going on, and on, and on.
I was not calling a "yart". For the third time, this particular one struck a chord. Even if I had been calling a "yart", to me that is not necessarily a negative thing.
I am quite willing to see it as someone telling me that there is info. that I or others might want to look at.
If I had known that that post would bring out all this
negativism, I would not have made it. I will say that we
old-timers did not seem to realize the effect that using this kind of tactic would have on newcomers, but since so many of you have pointed this out to us, this behavior has pretty much ceased. There really is no need to keep bringing it up. If apologies were made, they were made. If they weren't, it's a bit late now, but just in case, I apologize.
