To all:
This forum has a strongly enforced set of guidelines for on-line behavior, but we also want a lively and energetic discussion. Weaving clever digs, both subtle and otherwise, into the pattern of a discussion is not discouraged here, but gratuitous insults that only divert attention from the primary subject are strongly discouraged. The first level of enforcement is warnings like this that name no names, but the second level is a 24-hour suspension of posting privileges.
Because the originator of this thread has not returned since his first day, and because the tenor of the discussion declined into acrimonious exchanges, I fully endorse Adminnemooseus's closing of this thread.

Note from Adminnemooseus: Actually, the thread originator had returned, most recently in message 86. Regardless, I still think the topic need be closed.
