The value of this board over others is the degree of self control exercised, the quality of information shared and the insight revealed by the expert.

The rules judiciously applied by the seniors are important and matter to us all.

It is part of human nature to be sensitive to criticism but I ask posters to consider, before submission, whether their post is emotional or factual. Emotional posts are painful and tedious to read, factual adds to knowledge.

Given the upsurge in postings, even for a retired old codger like myself, keeping up to date is a daily challenge.

We all need to do more to avoid gridlock and spats.
