Gary,

Although I don't entirely disagree with you, TJ really has better 
things to do.  Flame or other types of wars break out from time to 
time but are IMHO fairly short lived and the forum goes on being for 
the most part fairly well self regulated.  Some days you just need to 
use the delete key more than other days.

many have pointed out in posts, yet the only comment I've read from 
you on the board was to Fred saying it wasn't his place to tell 
people to "go away".

gotta moderate the masses, but I don't think "voting" members off the 
board a la "Survivor" is a good idea.

That's why you need to step in and referee or assign someone to do 
that.  I nominate Dingo : )
