At times it is fun to kid around and poke fun at each other but i don't think this forum is the proper place to do that.
I agree that occasionally there is a message meant for only one person that could better be communicated via Personal Message.

But Warren, in my humble opinion, TOTV is meant to be a chat site. Yes, exchange of information is the basis. But I think it's also a place to chat, have fun, express opinions, make jokes, and get side tracked. I have personally grown very fond of some posters on TOTV. Some I've met and I'm lucky to call them friends. Some I've never met, but I respect their opinions and I know I'd like them a lot if I ever get to meet them.

Sorry Warren, I guess my post is a perfect example of what you dislike.
