We encourage the free flow of your ideas, but believe that they can be communicated (and received) much more effectively if you keep things civil. If you have to vent, take it offline.
The above is from our rules on posting.
I have been monitoring this thread since it's inception and have let it run with only a couple of minor edits as I believe it is within the spirit of the above rule.
HOWEVER one or two recent posts have been close to the edge though and could I ask posters to count to 10 and THINK before posting that sharp rejoinder.
