I was on a (non-VW) list for several years...hardly able to wait until I could log on each morning... contributed and gained from the knowledge that was there...loved it! BUT THEN... people began to become snotty, acrimonious, belligerent, and (the worst sin of all) INTOLERANT of viewpoints from others. Differences of opinions began to be taken as personal attacks, and issues turned into personal bickerings. I unsubscribed, but about a year later decided that I really, really missed that discussion group. So I resubscribed and lurked for three days. Guess what? The flames were still being hurled by the same jerks at the same other idiots as before. So, I unsubscribed for the second...and final...time. My fervent hope is that our list will NEVER take on those awful attributes. THE GOOD WILL THAT IS DISSEMINATED HERE IS OF VALUE ON A PAR WITH THE TECHNICAL ADVICE. After all, where else or earth or in cyberspace would the FI'ers allow us carb folks to spout our misguided polemics without raining the conflagrations of Hell upon us? May we only get better!
