Lapis,

I'll give you credit for not retaliating. I also have to give credit to Scott for an inspired and hysterical verbal barrage. Then again, I'm so new, my credit giving means squat.

One newbie observation that is probably objective because I don't know any of you: Whether it is over here, or over in the threads at PP, certain individuals regularly exhibit an over-inflated opinion of themselves and not surprisingly, it is the same individuals on both web sites. I'm wondering why anybody pays attention to these people? Or, would ignoring them be bad form?
