I seem to remember those days. I had was red faced many times, both from 
embarrassment and from anger. Rudeness has become more the exception 
than the rule of late, but it was a rough road back then. One thing it 
did do was force the initiative on the user to do his homework before 
posting. Not alltogether bad, I guess. (eh, llama?)

in around 2.0 or so.)
