"...  Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of 
throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned...."

Ah Ted, there is a key at the top right of the keyboard marked 
"Delete".  It can help a lot when you are in a mood like yours.

I'm probably more of a gearhead than most, for some fairly specific 
items.  When I see threads on those items, I latch right on, to the 
detriment of my free time (which is much better spent with my beautiful 
baby son, or my wonderful older son), and to the detriment of my wallet.

But when the threads go on for items that I am not interested in, the 
"Delete" key is so handy.

Oh, I can also use "CNTL-A" followed by "DELETE".  It is remarkably 
cathartic.  I bet it is like what firing an entire magazine off, of a 
machine gun, would feel like.  Being Canadian, I can't say for sure, 
but, watching movies, I am guessing that it would be very emotionally 
satisfying.

Anyway, Ted, have a better day.

:-)

Vick
