LEAVING ... is not the way to "filter out the noise".
I FULLY agree with INDURAIN. I myself had his words in my mind for many days ... in German that was. Wasn't able to express it in English the right way.
I can hardly understand, why some obviously respected and loved by the vast majority of these boards, would leave b/c of one or a few others who try to "disturb" this community.
It's so FEW who participate in flame wars and attack others .... ?!
BTW Did it come to someone's mind that a certain poster just may be SICK ?
