Mary-
If you really want to save bandwidth why don't you ban personal attacks and delete them from all the forums? Certain members who make inflammatory posts generally generate many other posts that have little or nothing to do with sailing and are generally negative.
Every other forum I have ever been a member of bans personal attacks and bans members who engage in them.
I realize this is your and Rick's site and forums but don't you think enough is enough?

Hope you and Rick are well-

Kirt
