Excellent point Stuart!  We could blame the less than civil postings on

You have noted the most simple solution.  The Golden Rule is still valid!
Apply with vigor.

And again, thanks to list members for caring enough to create artwork for
our
busses.  Some time before new years we should actually have a sticker
approved and a production run printed, distributed and at last identifying
our membership
in a forward thinking/rear engine powered club!
