It is very important to avoid making comments about abusive posts. The best thing to do is to email me and explain why you feel the post is offensive. I will take appropriate action. This is the ONLY way you can help me keep this forum clean. Our forum is getting large enough so that I cannot possibly read each and every post; at least not at the moment they are made. So I need your help. To publically criticize someone here will only ensure that one or both of the following will happen: 1) a flame war will erupt; 2) you will grant immense satisfaction on the part of the offender.

PLEASE let's keep this forum on track and friendly. There is simply no need to flame each other.

Thanks for your cooperation and support and constructive participation in this forum.

I strongly support Tony's wise advice. It is usually best to ignore such messages and comments; and certainly always best to ask Tony to deal with them if necessary.

Thanks, Tony.

Well thought of, clearly explained for and easy to do.

I compromise to do what you suggest. In fact I've been doing so already.

Well done Tony!! You are the FBI of cyberspace. Maybe you should also post a 10 most offensive list as well! Your work has made this forum a true pleasure. (8>))--Albert Knapp MD
