It's aimed more at newspapers, but applies to all online discussion.

Gosh, I have seen so much on TV that being live and on tape doesn't even bring out the better part of an individual. People don't have to be anonymous to be rude and insulting, or worse. I have chosen my PW name from the fact I am Peggy and worked in microwave radio and have been an active ham radio person since before I owned a computer. And as for the numbers of posted messages, it might make me more kind to a newer person (everyone seems to have the "try the search feature" down). All else that matters is what is said and what is the attitude.

Life goes on, with you or without you.
