People on the net are still PEOPLE-be nice.

WOW. What a great reminder about web manners.

I'm amazed how mean folks can be. I belong to a small list serve for my neighborhood. And about twice a year the s--- hits the fan. And half a dozen folks drop out, I've been one of them.

I remember when one neighbor built a stone wall. The neighborhood reaction was virulent. People dissed that wall up one side and down the other. Finally the wall's owner felt compelled to explain via the email list. I was so embarrased for my neighborhood. We forgot that there was a real person on the other side of that email address.
