Well, having only joined a few months ago, I'd disagree.  I tend not to
reply to things unless I'm pretty sure I'm right, but I reckon that's a
good thing.  I have been flamed in the past for stupid posts, and I
deserved it.

Personaly, I feel the flames and the OT threads are very much part of the
list - often more interesting than the on topic bits!

Just my 2p
