could be anybody, or several different anybodies at the same time. You happened to catch it/him/her/them in a nasty mood, and at least one of it/him/her/them flamed you pretty hard. Perhaps that particular persona of "Blank Frank" is all out of patience. But try to understand why your intent would make someone angry; there are lots of people out here who are very bitter about being "protected" as children by authoritarian adults who refused us basic human trust - which seems to be your intent. We find that intent repulsive.
Alternatively that particular instance of "Blank Frank" is her kid. Isn't the internet wonderful. -- A quote from Petro's Archives: ********************************************** "As someone who has worked both in private industry and in academia, whenever I hear about academics wanting to teach ethics to people in business, I want to puke."--Thomas Sowell.
