It may be a tedious thread, as you say, but sometimes a tedious thread revival is needed to put people's manners back in. You may have a thick skin to cope with abuse that is dished out. For me it is tedious to keep reading morons on their ego trip.

Mods do their part. But WE need to do ours as members, and be courteous - especially when we disagree. Apathy to bad behaviour affects everyone here. This is where I'm coming from.



Alex.

Couln't agree more; though Ron does have some valid points.

It was for these reasons I walked away from IIS for about a year and yes

sometimes it can be awash with ego.

Some poor pathetic souls have nothing better to do but wait, then pounce on someones typo etc; SAD.

The negativity of slanging matches in some posts defies all reason.

I'm giving it another go, but I have other hobbies etc, so not too concerned if I have a gut full again and just leave.

Cheers all and lets leave our egos where they belong.
