Re: On The Prairie
>Message-id: <MPG...@news.freesurf.fr> > flame wars, wow, I take a bit of a break from the newsgroup and find some of the 'regulars' flaming each other?? Shall I take on my mediator/mom role? c'mon now, kids... let's stop the bickering and get along together... This newsgroup is like a family. All families have their spats and differences, but our common interests keep us together. I'm still reading through the posts and don't quite have a handle on the issues that are causing the rifts -- so perhaps I'll get flamed for posting without knowing all the details. If that happens, so be it. Perhaps we need a little magic round-about from our late beloved Colin Douthwaite...
