Stan,

Well stated. Most people come by their opinions honestly (or think they do), whether or not we agree with them. Racing rewards quick reactions and not giving the other guy any slack, but that's not exactly the prescription for harmony in a group ... especially on a Web forum when a heated put-down stays out there long after your anger has passed. Maybe a good guideline for us competitive types would be: "Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength."

No offense, Rudeboy. I still think your avatar rocks.
