I would certainly understand if you were to feel responsible somehow for initiating the contentious discourse that "your" thread led to. If anything, it was my post in response to that of Alexandra_K that set off the chain of events that followed. Even so, I am not taking responsibility for the subsequent behavior of others. You might be looking at this situation in terms of cause-and-effect. Ultimately, the cause of this thread heading in the directions it has can be traced to the establishment of the Internet. Perhaps Al Gore is responsible for this thread. :-) I hope I made some sense here.

Ha! You might have hit upon the perfect way to resolve all these disputes--it's Al Gore's fault! That works for me.I've been off the boards for a few weeks. Haven't been feeling well, so I've had to focus on work to keep the job performance to an acceptable minimum. I'll probably be posting more again next week when things lighten up for a couple weeks.
Nice talking to you again.
