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.)
