That's nice, if one uses Nabble. I never signed up for Nabble, and
prefer to check my email by using.... well my email client.
I'm sorry you found my post not to be civil. I'm at a loss as to what
qualified it as NOT being civil. Is pointing out that someone else was
being non-civil somehow non-civil in and of itself? If so, does that
also extend to pointing out non-civil remarks about non-civil remarks?
Kinda silly, no?
