Since when did these select posters receive the blessing from on high and be designted the ability to speak "Ex Cathedra" (with infallibility)? When did you bring down the tablets from the mountain. To want people to keep their natural place in the grand scheme of things is a very pompous, elitist mentality and very dangerous thinking as history has proven again and again.

 As a public board, IMHO,  everyone is equal. Some have more knowledge to share for the common good. In my experience it has proven to be  beneficial when even a seemingly "dumb" question is asked. Who knows how many lurkers have the same question but are reluctant to ask or comment. We should appreciate everone's opinion. Maybe there is a kernal of truth in the simplest statement.

I find the personal attacks completely distateful. The issue is the debate, not the poster. The verbal tennis and the vitriol is non-productive and not worthy of this board.

Maybe the way to start is for you to apologize to those whom you have blatantly slammed and maybe the rest of the lower order posters will treat the upper class with due homage and respect.
