Nice, EdgeXXX. I'll read it after I post this.

BTW, here's a MONEY quote from that link I posted (comment to the article):

"Flame wars help to increase our abilities to debate, insult and condition ourselves to receive such as well, which are survival abilities in modern civilized society. In addition to that they also allow us a relatively safe way to vent when someone is just being an idiot, an option that can be bad, if not downright dangerous, for one's career, homelife and/or social life were they to act in such a way in a face to face situation.
