I personaly do not feel that any kind of intervention is required by you. In addition, I feel that you have went a step above and beyond by maintaining this board for us to use, and I, for one, really appeciate it. It has been a life saver for me(literally) more than once. I am perfectly capable of ignoring any hostile and juvenile posts; especially if it means having to register in order to partake in the discussions here.
