Please note: This is not a flame...

I'm wondering how you define "slamming." Do you mean a personal attack,
or do you mean disagreement with your opinions? I'll admit the
discussion of issues can get pretty heated here (and I've contributed my
share of heat), but I've seen few if any personal attacks, at least what
I would call personal attacks. Do I just have a thicker skin than
others?

Regards,
Steve
