Thank you, Bill for your comment. I definitely agree and rules and regulations WILL be discussed with the Officers and the Board to establish rules and regulation concerning this matter.

  OK, now I AM confused. I wasn't particularly upset by the exchanges 
  between our two recent combatants, if I don't feel like reading a 
  post, that is what the delete key is for. The only drawback to that 
  scheme is when an inaccurate title is used.

  However, the posts seemed to me to be clearly in violation of the 
  prohibition against argumentative posts. So, why was it allowed to 
  go on for so long? Some folks really expressed dismay at the ongoing 
  arguing. Seems to me that if we are going to quote the message board 
  rules, then we need to conduct the message board by those rules.
