Hi all,

Quoting myself on Wednesday October 19, 2005:
| 
| What I find great is people coming out of the woodwork to fire off
| mindless sarcasm, which only seeks to completely undermine a valid
| criticism. Instead of sympathising and agreeing with the substance of
| the email, one is overwhelmed by the grade-school theatrics and starts
| to question what the author's real agenda is.

Upon reflection, that is a bit harsh. It is not meant to be a criticism
aimed at any specific person.

I think we all look for constructive ideas and suggestions, and
particularly data to base these discussions on, but too often they are
drowned out by snide comments and other hatchet jobs.
