i have observed as time goes by that Internet forums generally start out on topic for 5 or 6 posts then it seems without fail someone takes offense or disagrees and let the quotes begin generally by the second page you have personal quote battles going on and others throwing in there bit all by quote.
do we really have such short attentions spans? it does get a little frustrating sometime but mostly just funny it would be good if maybe sometimes people pm each other vs using so much space in the forums.
i come here for information and tech support as well as to try to help others. i do not come here to hear others personal quibbles.

One reason is because a lot of people have nothing to say, but they say it anyway.

Let's deviate off-topic a bit more; who hates Bush, who hates Kerry, who hates Tony Blair, will Canada ever get another tank?
