Hey, wait a minute!

Hey, S.P.:
There is NO question too "dumb". and "pompous" replies are usually dealt with accordingly on this board, but I have to confess I fail to imagine who first broke wind in this thread, and I don't really have time or the inclination to read it to find out.
We'll leave the door open for a few minutes, and I'm sure things will improve. Let's just hope everyone is still here when the air clears.
This board has at times been criticized for being too focused on D&RGW/Cumbres topics, but that's what most of our folks are interested in, and the threads are always driven by topics posted.
Probably my favorite part of this board has to do with the vast knowledge and in many cases vast experience of the people who read and post here.
It grieves me to see critical comments amongst guys I consider friends, and whose contributions I almost always find valuable. It would be my hope that these comments could be construed as constructive.
I'm very sure I speak for many when I say that I would seiously mourn the loss of any of our readers and posters over such comments. Especially over something as seemingly innocent as the question that started this thread.
It's easy for us to forget that there are always new readers here who are curious about issues and topics that may have been covered here in the past, so how about we take a deep draw of Holiday spiked lemonade and not get out the guns and knives?
