It's not a question of bad week or not.

It's a question of "what is this list for?"

There are no dumb questions remember?

I regret all the times I was afraid to ask because of what the "others may have thought and the smart @$$ comments that would result... It took me 30 years to get over it. Regardless, I ASK ANYWAY!

I can get the intelligent answer [hopefully] and move on with the correct information. It's hard to perceive the thought or personality of the people we are talking to unless we know them personally.

Another thing, don't you think it's a sad day for the list that people asking for help have to start off saying: "Spare me the flames but..." Or "Sorry if you covered this before but the archives are down, I hate to ask this again..." NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR ASKING A QUESTION OR FEAR BEING FLAMED FOR MAKING ANY SORT OF POST ASKING FOR HELP OR LISTING STUFF THEY HAVE AVAILABLE FOR SALE IF we don't want to hear about it. Just "Filter" them out!!!

I have received personal messages on how to filter people out. Anyone else want to know how to use their filters? Don't be afraid to ask.

P.S.Don't bother with the flames you'll just be added to my IDIOTS FOLDER. I bagged one the other morning ;0)
