I take offense at that statement. I did nothing that meets the definition of a "flame war". If you recall, the specific post that got you upset was about me saying "caveat emptor", or "Buyer Beware". I stated factual information. There was no foul language. There were no lies. If you think that is a "flame war", then you do not understand the definition. Now some folks who responded to my comments did indeed invoke a flame war between themselves. But just a few---not many. The earth is not going to stop spinning because of it.

I have to say that I seriously doubt that. Look at how the traffic goes UP with some of my posts.....not down. And with regards to apologizing to a person about their shortline, you know that this was not me. I rarely (if ever) discuss shortlines. I know nothing about them. So please don't take displaced anger and direct it towards me.
