Eric & Jeremy,
I've been waiting to see how long it would take for this topic rise from the ashes again. Well of course it's not actually the topic, more like a truncated discussion of how the topic was handled. I refused to get caught up in it, since the entertainment value was quite valid without my involvement. I'm a big fan of Jeff's, but I did think even his buttons were being pushed beyond the limits near the end of the thread. Too bad he finally lost control, but I do understand. Up to that point, in my opinion, he was truly trying to help, but it seemed to become a moot point as the OP continued to disregard and indeed disrespect some or most of his suggestions. Had I jumped in I'm sure my chains would have been equally rattled and my comments not as restricted as his. I think it was definitely in Michael's interest, and the best interest of the forum in general, to put a lock on the thread at that point, but to also leave it up for the time being. That way one can chose to either have a read or to ignore it altogether. It would seem that perhaps the OP had some issues with other forums as well. Not surprising!
