Then delete the first paragraph. The rest of your post stands on it's own without sending the troops off to downvote him.

And downvote or upvote away, there is only blame in voting if you are voting the person and not the content. Which brings us nicely around to what princepawn and merlyn have both complained about. =) If you disagree with me vote the post down, don't go seek out every useful post I've made in the last 2 weeks and downvote all of them to "teach me a lesson" or some such nonsense.
