Many people claim these lists are unfriendly. I say this is not true. I have made some very boneheaded statements here and I was treated far more civilly than I deserved. :- It's been my observation, that to get attacked requires the poster to go out of their way to be obnoxious. Not to say that there are not any touchy subjects. :-)
