| it's still an internet forum. The nuances of a joke or sarcasm get lost in this realm. And it's made worse when some people don't have a sense of humor. When you tell me to take a flying leap, I know that you're joking (or that you'd better be if you want any type of quality work done on your car). If someone else I don't know told me that, it would be hard to tell if they were trying to be funny or not. When something like this happens, the first thing I do is to remind myself is that NOTHING on this forum is worth getting upset over. If I don't like the way someone responds to my post, yes I get disappointed, but I look beyond it and either move on to another topic, or log off tt.net for a while to recalibrate my perspective. This forum is a great place to trade information, give good advise, and hopefully have a good laugh. But when it gets to the point that hate/flame wars become a daily routine, I think we need to re-evaluate things to get the proper perspective about it. I will not start naming names, but I hope the people who really need to understand this point will read this message and put it to practice. XOXO, Garth
