Well said old friend.

There is too much to gain to let petty behavior run anyone off. And I am sorry that there seems to be a lot of it.

I didn't think a thick skin would be necessary in a hobby like this, but there you go.

I hope it all blows over. Anyone who is serious about the craft stands to gain a lot if they allow those who want to share their expertise the chance to do just that.

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
