I certainly enjoy the conversation!

As for forums, it remains something of a hard problem. On one extreme are the sociopathic SPAMMERs; then those with an "Ox to gore;" a larger pool of regular folks who want to learn and share, and then; those precious few who seem "obsessive compulsive" about finding out what is real. Herding cats seems easier than keeping some sense of order and polite behavior.

Ten years ago, I participated in a Unitarian, USENET group that had a 'robot moderator.' Using simple pattern matching, it automatically handled those who came to tell us we were all going to h*ll. Having been a moderator and currently one at MyHybridCar, I've learned more about member and even moderator behavior than I ever wanted to know. In fact, I had to 'fire' one web forum site which has had the happy effect of giving me more time 'in the lab.' <grins>

I enjoy sharing my results and answering questions because without fail, I often learn something not known before. But as long as folks 'play nice' with a sense of humor, I'm a happy camper.
