Who can blame the "Portalets" for trying to fit in? This would seem to be a good time for all of us to take a few minutes and read through "news.announce.newusers" one more time. PEOPLE read, and post to, the net. People will inevitably have disagreements. If they can't be resolved, shall we not politely "agree to disagree," and leave it at that? Why carry on like a bunch of schoolyard bullies? Why?* ______________________________________________________________________________ * End of Sermonette sean@aquinas.UUCP or ....killer[!rpp386]!aquinas!sean
