Hi Rick,

Bear in mind, a strong signal-to-noise ratio is part of EVERY mailing list.
I've been with this list for over 2 years, and while the occasional flame
wars are minor annoyances, this group has a pretty good history of keeping
the peace and getting back on task. People get frustrated; the safety of
anonymity allows them to vent it out. No need to leave the group; just make
a kill file for the most annoying threads and keep checking in with the
rest of us. Your questions and contributions will be appreciated by those
of us who have too much Flash work on our hands to start throwing sand at
the other kids.

Cheers!

Hal Medrano
