Ladies and gentlemen,
>From the various responses I have recieved with respect to my rant, it 
seems some have missed the point I'm trying to prove. A mistake is a 
mistake and critisism is helpful, it improves your skills, attitudes, 
etc. etc. in short, it makes you a better person.  I am not against being 
critisized, what I was trying to do was to emkphasize the point that  
critisism need not be rude, we could critisize with tact, diplomacy and 
manners.  We need not rave like lunatics just because some misinformed 
fools (myself included) have made blunders.  There is a saying that a 
stick would work better than honey, yet using the stick and the honey 
will work twice as well.  I would like to reiterate that I am not against 
being critisized, it is the manner of how I am critisized that appals me. 
I have to say many of those who compose this list have very sharp tounges 
sometimes sharper than is required. You know who you are, I need not name 
names. Let us all try to be civilized, we are not cavemen after all. That 
is all I have to say.
