Well, you still got a bit more editing to do-- since Doc made a point of reposting the comments to about half-a-dozen other threads.

if nothing else, i love the % (percentage) of smiley faces to actual words typed that doc uses.




(and the spelling of "thanks.")

Doc, As a friendly pointer, don't you think that the only way to end useless flame wars is to stop posting to them? You know I respect and appreciate you as a member, so please don't take it personal but I think that your replies just add fuel to the fires...

After that serious note, have a great day </font>

doc, just how many threads are you going to post this in? I think I've seen 7 so far. It is
quite annoying. [This message has been edited by opus17 (edited 02-24-2002).] </font>

Well, the problem is that with doc's ubiquity, they can't "easily be skipped". When you click on a thread that he's posted in, they come up whether one wants them to or not.

Broken record time: Can't we puh-leaz have a filter capability? Then those who want to enjoy the doc-fest can continue to do so, while the others won't have to.</font>

Say Doc, you're certainly getting an awful lot of "mileage" out of those quotes, wouldn't you say?

Then again, at least something about this cat-flight is mileage-related.</font>

Your post on this thread is not on-topic with the original post. You should start your own thread (one only please) and then we can keep all discussion consolidated.

Thank you, please drive through.

I'm with you Lisa; I can't believe there are two threads on this plus one in omni and all of them are going in full force. I guess I'm contributing to this mess but hey someone needs to say that the ones complaining are as bad as the original problem

doc, do you not see the irony in the nature of this post of yours?

Yes I am, but not to the same extent as reading a 2 page long thread just to realize at the end that it is a year old and I just wasted my time. Would it not be less work to just create a new topic? Why spend hours for a year old one just to drag it back for a fishing expedition? Again, no flame intended and I do not want to go back and forth on this.

But now that I have finished the above, I can't resist asking why you insist on doing what you do? Can't you just take a month off and give the rest of us a breather? Or at least confine your news posts to the In The News forum? Just a suggestion. ..</font>

You guys obviously have some differences. But what does your post, Doc, offering NJDavid "possible aid" at the Center For Mental Health Services (U.S. Department of and Human Services) web site, and more specifically at their web site for the state New Jersey, have the least bit to do with your supposed desires to "move past the 'baloney'" and advising us "Let's ALL move on!" ?

From the "About CMHS" link on the first page of the web site you so "helpfully" provided:

CMHS is charged with leading the national system that delivers mental health services. goal of this system is to provide the treatment and support services needed by adults with mental disorders and children with serious emotional problems. Almost 50 adults in the United States are affected by mental illness in any given year, and more than 5 million adults and children are diagnosed each with a severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression.

What are you trying to say here, Doc? How is this not a personal attack on another FTer? How is this "moving past the baloney" and "moving on"?

I don't get it. And, quite honestly, I don't care for it: as you can read from the above quote from CMHS web site, millions of American adults and children are affected by mental illness in a given year, and more than 5 million are diagnosed with a severe mental illness. This is a very serious problem for our society in general, and one that has affected people close to me whom I care very much about.

Your use of serious sites such as these to further your personal attacks on someone (or was this a "joke"?) is undignified, unbecoming and unbelievable. IMHO. ..</font>

Doc, I think I've run across six places (so far) where you've reposted the remarks of essxjay.

Why not just once, in the thread itself, plus an e-mail to Mr. Petersen?

If we can't collectively stamp out flame wars, let's at least hold them to one thread per war.</font>
