I certainly agree with a points system,JP.I don't believe the intention is to stifle opinions at all,(as some of the posts seem to be implying)but to stimulate civilized and intelligent discussion about a given subject.As we are all reasonably intelligent individuals here the least we can do is conduct ourselves as such.I personally do not have the time nor patience to contend with a juvenile attitude,but would willingly make the time to participate in a discussion with any group or individual who is willing to converse in a reasonable manner.This is all about learning.....we aren't always going to be right or wrong.....we may all have varying degrees of experience......this should be a forum for making new friends and contacts.......attitudes should be left at the door.Everyone is entitled to an opinion or view point,but we shouldn't forget common courtesy to all.Treat others as you wish to be treated.......thanks to those who make this type of open forum available.......and lets try not to abuse the privilege extended to us here.
