Dear limper,

I think jfcooper was %100 correct. He didn't sound like he was trashing anybody - he just made a good argument. I agree with him.
Tred may have had good intentions; but he sure didn't think out what he was going to say very well. When people (like Tred) don't think before they talk/write, it doesn't matter how well meaning they are - they can say pretty thoughtless and nasty things. What Tred said was thoughtless and Nasty.
I don't see why you had to attack Cooper. He seems like a nice person, too.
