The original poster's avatar was offensive. The same poster has used offensive avatars in the past. I don't see any reason to consider a post to be useful when it is coming from someone like that. After checking I can see that the avatar has been changed to the default. Thank you.
As I said, the follow-up replies were also politically motivated. In the future, the best course of action is to use the report function associated with the offending post, instead of engaging with trolls. You folks would likely catch it before I do, so the reporting tool is helpful in having it removed quickly.
It is tempting to try to slip in a little bit of politics BUT I REMEMBER the old days when P&R was allowed. Things could go downhill incredibly fast on both sides of whatever the main topic was. The ensuing name calling could get as ugly as a witch riding a vacuum cleaner.
2012, seems like only yesterday.
