While one is free to choose whether or not to do so, one should not be surprised if, upon deciding not to, one receives a less than enthusiastic response.

Fair enough. The "less than enthusiastic response" could certainly be more perliter than it has been, though, is all. Whatever any of us may be unenthusiastic about, it would be nice if we could all (myself included, and yes, I AM taking note!) refrain from attacking others. In fact, I know we COULD. I just wish we WOULD. (and I am well aware that 'most everyone round here does - which I do appreciate)

If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side.
