I agree - it is sad. I blame this on the general negativity presented by the media, as well as the internet - people seem to feel it's ok to bash away when they're typing away at the computer. In most situations, I doubt these people would say these things if the conversation was in person.

Be careful, there are probably several people on this forum that would vote for you as President (btw - if that does happen, can we get a z/28 priced at $40k?)
