I don't even remember how long I've been on this list...since it had about 50
members,
and it has almost always been a great group of friends and always a great
source of info.
By contrast, a corvette list I'm on frequently has flame wars and counter flame
wars ad
nauseum, and it is a great disappointment overall even though a good source of
info.

Personally (to cover all the many times I've been wrong and been wronged), I
always try
to give the other guy as much grace as possible; I may be the next one that
needs to
apologize.
