Yet another useless thread!!-----------------ooops, sorry about that. I guess I was supposed to be constructive!
I agree with you Pete up to a point, but only up to a point. I also agree with other posters that it's humor that keeps the place alive and sometimes the humor gets lost. The saying is that 'sarcasm is the lowest form of wit' and I guess some of us reach a bit too far trying to be funny at times. Then, of course, there are the downright nasty and obviously unhelpful posts---no excuse for those.
