Yes 100%. This rant has been bugging me for a day now and a tirade against
Ronald Steinke will do nothing except raise my blood pressure and further
contribute to the noise and flaming on this list, which is totally gotten
out of hand. But I have to say this is one of the most ignorant and mean
spirited posts I have ever read. Disgusting. And I will comment no further
because I want the flames to end.
