Tom, the more I think about the comments on this the more silly/childish/ridiculous this whole matter is, as far as I am concerned. I just was thinking to myself when your posting came through, how many of the members that are making these comments have been in the service of their country in a war. Like Vietnam/Gulf etc.; and the reason I was wondering that is because I wonder if these members really realize that in other countries you do-not have the right to decide what color,font, size or anything else to use and in those countries they simply shoot you and your family if you disagree with how things are done. I will say that the statement above is extreme but simply to point out that isn't it nice for a few to dictate to others that happen to do things different that they are right and the other member or members are wrong.

In my gut I think if I see a thread or posting that bothers me I just move on and read another and think to myself I would not say or do that myself but I think that must be their opinion so live and let live. I have a sales background and therefore I use alot of fluff if you will in my topics simply to get attention and I thought to make them more (Interesting-And-Fun) to everyone and get members excited over a newly released product as myself giving a presentation to my sales staff. Let's get excited and get out there and make this happen, this 2006 Honda Hybrid is hot go get them gang.

Exam: "Let's Get-EXCITED-AND-Get-Out-There"

Which statement gets your attention and gets you excited about what is being said by the poster and you want to read the rest because the poster is so excited themselves. It's just a different way to say the same thing and some people are excited about the posting and obviously others as posted are (put-off) by the style but I think each member is neither right or wrong just a matter of personal preference and nothing more should be read into it.
