In short, spamming, flaming and trolling, as well as shouting, are against netiquette.

I labelled the OP spam, because it had very little substance. The OP should know bloody well why I suggested he inform himself about netiquette (himself, not us).

Combined with the OP's recent flaming, one could get the impression that he is, in fact, trolling.

Since I am inclined to believe that is indeed so, I simply behaved accordingly.

Thank you Golden Boy for your response. You didn't owe me one, per say.

I would like to further intellectualize this topic, however, I can see some delicate areas that may be sensitive to the touch. I shall refrain from going on too much, until I am lead to believe that matter(s) is/are approachable.

In my opinion, netiquette (in how it is perceived and executed), needs to be looked at in and out of the box... How one person might feel/be justified in a risqué, or tongue-and-cheek post verses another's perception of what is/isn't appropriate.

Yea, keep it civil. Let it go so it can grow. Don't CC unless ya ask. Don't claim to be # 1 only to get beat and act like it didn't happen. Stuff like that.

Reading this reminds me of Shrek 3 when the Prince asks Pinocchio where shrek is and he rambles on in his answer. No offense, it's just the wordage. ha

We should start a thread on common acronyms... If no one does it, I may consider putting one up myself... At first I thought zildjian was saying "CC" like Carbon Copy... i.e.: Asking before including someone in a discussion.

But now it is looking like Color Change. I am pretty sure that Golden Boy's OP means Original Poster.

No offence taken, I am a heavy analogy user myself.
