SC - Could you elaborate? I am not sure what you are trying to get across. Of course I was trying to be funny. Greg and I are fairly good cyber-friends, with many things in common. I do believe that Greg understands the type of humor that I was using. I doubt that he would think that I was offending him.
I apologize to you, if you think that my remarks were meant to be taken seriously. We should move this conversation over to Psycho-Social Babble, though, if you would like.
In my second paragraph, second sentence, I was trying to suggest a way to help others who are feeling down at the times of year that Greg had mentioned.
Sincerely - Cam

Cam,
You and I have known each other long enough that I think we understand each other's sense of humor (scary thought eh?). Just wanted you to know that I didn't take any offense to anything you said at all. Your sense of humor has made me smile on days when I didn't think it was possible and I am grateful for that.
I do think this has kind of give some validity to my original post though, which I've posted at the bottom of my message here, just in case anyone is curious what this is all about.
Peace Bro,
Greg

> I spoke last night with a friend of mine who runs a board similar to PB (not in subject matter) and he told me that his experience has been that between the months of October and February seem to be especially bad for aggressive posting, misunderstandings, hurt feelings and a general lack of tolerance for humor on boards such as these. His view as to why this happens is (1) the major holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, are extremely hard for a lot of people (financial worries, bad prior experiences, trouble coping with family and friends), and, (2) the winter months (rain, snow, cold weather) are tough for many people and tend to make even "normal" people depressed. He says these factors among others, tend to manifest themselves into, what he termed "out of the norm" behavior.
