Absolutely correct of course. 

I do think I mentioned the value of our group rules in my post. I can not tell you how many times in life I have written a flaming reply and NOT sent it, then later discovered help from that person and how friendly and reasonable they were indeed.

And we do disagree on a few things. It is always about free speech and the constitution whether you agree or not. We freely agree to rules to make  gaining information and know how easy and efficient. If you squelch free speech it does not become easy and efficient. It becomes clogged with defensiveness and circumvention. That is just the way it is and there is plenty of human resource research to back up my claims. Self-directed process always works better in the long run. Imposed conformity just does not work. Just look at how many postings emerge on this issue which are not information and know how related (unless you consider "communication" good information and know how.)

  It is not about free speech or frustration ect... It is about courtesy to one another regardless of how we feel at the time.I know I have done some dumb stuff . The 
  list is for gaining information and know how not a forum on the constitution . I am a 
  very tolerent person and besids the person that flames you today , deserved or not, may have your answers tomorrow and you will be glad YOU were courteous.
