Ben,
I checked with Charter, and they didn't seem to know why
my message is being filtered (see message below). The
only thing I could think of is that the person's post who
I'm replying to used the word "evils".
Might there be some way to post a question to the moderator
of alt.html?
Thanks!
Scott

Dan,
Well, I can understand that. But, you know, whenever a group of people
get together for a face-to-face conversation, everyone will not follow the
same rules. Some people know how to listen, others don't, some people
interrupt, etc. It's not a perfect world.
In my experience, perfectionsists are very unhappy people, because they
find they cannot control everything to the nth degree.
Sometimes it's better to put up with people's idiosyncrosies....and even
learn to appreciate their differences. Why should we all be clones of each
other?
