But, could it be stated that he was being rude as well as wrong. Several 
did point out exactly that, where he was totally off-base.

Hmm, That attitude does seem very counter to what these groupd are all 
about. We're *supposed* to be about sharing 
information/tips/techniques/next bright ideas.. etc.

This I can totally agree with. I had no idea Paris even made replies and 
may have chanegd my mind about him. I still stand by the fact that he 
may not have had a productive reason behind the post. I feel I may have 
handled his post poorly, as well as others, but there had to be 
something to the post to insense a good number of people on here...
