Mark,
You are entirely correct. This I say as one of the offenders.
In the interim, I have 'wised up' and taken things more calmly.
I now realise that it was probably ME and my interpretation of a response
or comment that made it seem rude or smart-ass. Re-reading the Netiquet
that was posted recently also reminded me of the lack of "tone of voice"
when reading posts. Now I try to read things with a sense of humour...;)
Boy!...am I glad I got THAT off my chest.....;)
