Forgive me for what I am about to write, brothers and sisters.

This does strike me as a bit of a snotty response, IMHO.

Lots of people use merlyn's real name on this site, and I
bet he doesn't know all of em. (Most, probably, but never all :P).

It seemed just the other day people were waxing lyrical on how to never turn away
a valid contribution to the site, even if it is from a known Troll. Well,
(compared to DiscoStu's track-record), this seems like a pretty valid contribution
to the original thread. So what happens now, after he/she sees this reponse?

Flame On, methinks.

I am not advocating Trolling, but I felt I should comment on this node as it may turn out to cause more harm than good (I am NOT saying it was intended to cause harm, but ZydecoSue did seem quite terse and loaded with meaning.



Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, I give you, my two cents.
