         Fred,

         That is essentially what I have said
         over and over.

         Sorry, I've been traveling back from
         England today. What I've seen so
         far tonight bothers me ... and I am
         amazed at how fast these flames
         break out.

         I will be taking some steps to
         "rein in" some of the problem
         posts.

         in the meantime, everyone can
         help by letting me moderate,
         and not responding to those
         trolls.

         thanks for your concern.
