Dear John (Willkie), You wrote: > When there is no doubt that someone cannot behave profesionally, > despite polite suggestions, then I have another bag of tricks. But why ? Never mind if some other subscriber _appears_ to be unprofessional. Then you or I still have an obligation to remain professional and courteous. Think of it as educating them. But more often than not it is the "amateurs" who come up with the nicest and most original ideas, and it is I who is being educated here ! We are all only professional in our own limited field of expertise, and it is through interaction with the creativity of others, who have other expertise and sharp minds too, that we can learn. So be grateful of the relationships that you build up in this forum, and don't spoil them with unnecessary rudeness. We all have a lot to gain from our friends in this group, really. And as for *ssholes, I'm sure that I'm one of them too. I'm just trying not to show it too much. I have nothing to gain from that.
