This is actually a pretty good object lesson, demonstrated in near real time, of the two kinds of posts one is liable to make on an easily-accessible board like DU: (1) the knee-jerk, snarky response the Id originally errupts with and (2) the more reflective, constructive, super-ego moderated comment a moment's sober judgment, engaged empathy and critical thinking prompts one to leave.

Truth to tell: I enjoy reading both kinds of posts. And take each for what they're worth.

Nice to meet you, In_The_Wind! We're all newbies sometime, somewhere, eh?
