Okay, okay, okay... Let's not let this get bitter, folks. I'm sure the only people on this list who are trying to take advantage of little old ladies are those of us who may be married to them. ;-) If y'all want to discuss the value of a parked car; that's just fine, but it will -never- be fine on this list to insult/slight/attack others. Please remember that while others may have an opinion that is different than yours, their opinion is still a valid one, and that person has feelings just like you and me. Also remember that email is a strange animal... people don't write like they talk, so things can easily be taken the wrong way. It's easy to write something down that looks a whole lot different than what you intended. And likewise, it's also easy to take something you've read as a personal insult. When in doubt, bear in mind that the sender probably didn't mean anything by it, and that it probably just came out wrong. Read your post from "another person's point of view" before you send it. And if something insults you, read it -3- times before you respond. Finally, there's no need to return the insult on the list. No one has anything to worry about, and no one has to "save face". When someone fires off a blatant insult on the list, we all see it... Trust me -- the insult will hurt the reputation of the -sender- a lot more than it will the person it was aimed at... -Dave
