Wanna know what is kind of the saddest part about the kind of fol-der-rol that leads you to make this sort of point in the first place? Everything that you recommend here *used to be* what was considered to be something that we old farts used to call "being civil", and wasn't something that anyone would have to be told at all.

I want to thank you for *always* being civil, no matter how upset or supportive you are concerning a subject you broach here. This is the main reason why I so enjoy reading your blog, and I want to remind you of that and commend you for it.
