I think you'd be surprised at how many of the old school living legends lurk the forums. Some say that they learn a thing or two new. Some say that they can pick out the young-uns no prob. All those who sit and listen do so in anonyminity because they don't want to get "lectured" by someone who A: they don't know and B: someone who's full of it. I'm grateful to those who have joined us and who have given their knowledge. Just remember that when someone says something and you don't agree, there's a couple of reasons that you don't agree. You may be thinking in absolutes, and there are NONE in the surf. And you may NOT have experienced the total truth of that subject. What ever it is,it is in most bad form to shout LIAR at another man. It insults him to the core and disgusts those listening in. And that is where I see most Flame Wars coming from. Just some things to think about..

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
