Yes! Kudos (not to be confused with Krulos :grinInternet forums CAN bring out the worst in people, as they provide a venue where one can spew insults and vulgarities and remain anonymous, hence immune to the consequences. I have seen that kind of insensitivity in other online cigar discussions, and it apparantly can creep into forums about any topic whatsoever....including lawn care! (that one amazes me!).
So I too am very appreciative of the supportive atmosphere in this forum.
