Not IMO. But this is probably a topic for the OT list anyway - then William can slam me too. (I think he's ignoring this thread now.) ;o) I think as a civilized people we should expect politeness not reward it. With a group of people whom we are familiar, we can dispense with some of the more rigorous practices of being polite. But we should never be rude and we should let it be known that we do not embrace rude behavior. OTH, reward and punishment for children should eventually lead them into behaving as above. My minus points for rudeness are only to encourage the context of the dialog being continued in a productive meaningful exchange of ideas. Sometimes these little debate can turn ugly due to one comment being received by one person who happens to be in the wrong state of mind. Since _I_ can't actually make people stop participating in a email debate I try to encourage them to check the derogatory or aggressive tones. I have had an eye opening experience with this particular debate. I may actually try using this feature again. We'll see where it ends up. Maybe Dev Ashish will join in here before its over. E-gads! I wrote "behaviour" and the spell check caught it. I catch myself writing "grey" and "colour" a lot too. I'm melting... -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Susan Harkins Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 4:16 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] Lookup Fields in Table Design OK, if they can't get points for politeness, they shouldn't lose points for the lack of it.
