Like it or not, the internet is a place to share ideas and points of view. Saying "get a life" is a cop out.
To have a good discussion, one must "attack the issue, not the person." Unfortunately, many people online do not understand this.
Oh, and BTW,as I mentioned in another thread: I've been on GC for 6 years & haven't reached 1000 posts. Some people have reached 1000 in just 6 MONTHS! And they say get a life?!

For the most part, I would agree with your rather nice posting.
