If you’re going to disregard basic communication decency with rude personal attacks, people are going to be a lot less patient and forgiving when interacting with you.

The moderators can be contacted if things go beyond reason.

-BOFH (I mean, one of said moderators)

P.S. People *have* been banned from these forums. I personally don't
go for that very lightly, because while the noise level is in some

unattentive towards such problems.
