Well I visit ToTV as much as I did before but the frequency of posts has diminished. The majority of my posts were while I was ill and out of work for five weeks.

There are posts which may not interest me so I don't read them and occasionally I may encounter a post I don't agree with or god forbid may even find offensive. To each his own.

Idle chatter, chit chat, banter, cross talk, well I think it's in the nature of the beast. Just watch what happens at any social gathering. I understand that it may be disconcerting to some but it doesn't bother me. Politics well I feel the same way; I have noticed that no matter where I go it seems conversations eventually cover politics. How lucky we are to live in a place where we can exercise our right to speak freely on any subject.

I had a conversation with a colleague today who said something I really liked in reference to character assassination; "Everyone should drink a cup of tolerance in the morning."

I enjoy this forum and Chat immensely and am very much looking forward to meeting other participants while in TV this April.
