Avant, it's another one of those lessons we learned in 
kindergarten.  When the little kid is getting picked on, 
the teacher has to step in and put a stop to it.  But if 
the big kid is being provoked, it is best to hold back and 
let him or her get mad enough to take the appropriate 
action.  (It still works that way today I assume.)

Main participants this time, lets see, Avantguardian, Mike Lorrey, 
Joseph Bloch, Humania, Bret, Brett, j. andrew rogers, Samantha, 
John Clark, Dirk, and my apologies to any I have missed, but 
every one of you have demonstrated yourselves capable of
competent self defense on the playground.

One upbeat note: over the years our extro-flame wars have
actually improved in the sense that there is more actual
information and less personal attack than 8 yrs ago.
