Do you who think techwr-l is full of flames participate on
other lists? (You don't have to answer this to me, just to
yourself.)
IMHO, we are fairly polite, and I believe it is because we
understand the limitations of written communication.
Of the opinion that our list is fairly mild,

============================================
LaVonna, you have astutely detected that I am new to this list and to the
net altogether, but my initial impression is that we are fairly _feisty_,
and your message is no exception. I suppose this is a sign of the
confidence of the writers. I don't feel the messages are viscious by any
means, but we sure don't let anyone get away with anything, do we? ;)
I _enjoy_ the exchange of ideas _and_ opinions! But I surely think twice
before adding my $.02...
Sorry if I misjudged you or others,
