I have given up. When I surveyed the benefit of a rare polite comment to the frequent snarky remark from the ever present know it alls who know little or Captain Obvious - I am giving it a rest with the hope that the future will be a return to civility.

I hope by given up you don't mean leaving. You are one of the breaths of fresh air, good advice and common sense here. I always read your posts.

As I usually do, I prefer to ignore the less than 5% (more like 2%!) that are snipers and be-eye-chers and moaners and enjoy the other 95-98%.....TOTV is very informative....provides a perfect platform for soliciting help and communicating.

So instead of lending credibility to the exceptions lets boast about the good represented by the majority (pick a number)......there is certainly a lot more of it.

PS....I know it is hard to ignore a screaming child in the restaurant.....

Yes, some person writes something about something and one reacts to it emotionally? When I read a comment I don’t approve of I think of it more like when the cat meows outside the door. I can’t possibly emotionally react to a post written by someone I don’t know personally.

Now the helpful comments, those are really appreciated.

We should all ask for a refund of our monthly TOTV fees. Get them in the pocket where it most hurts!!!

For those who missed the joke: JUST KIDDING! WE DON'T PAY FEES! THAT WAS MY POINT!

Uh, you don't pay fees? Uh, why have I been being charged?

You are sadly missed by many I'm certain. Always the voice of reason and like so many others have been very helpful to yours truly. I respect your decision to hang back. Hope to hear from you regularly again soon. Glad you posted. I was wondering.

Toy, I understand.

My comments on this thread have been deleted already.

A majority of my concerns have not been with posters.
Can't say anymore, or here comes the delete button.

I spend my time on ToTV in the classified, then I sniff comments.

I try to add 10% value and 80% no value.

Enjoy the rest.

Do your "right justified super-sized blue text" posts have a mixed political meaning ?

You can use the Private Message function to ask your question, I have done this many times for similar reasons. If you are not familiar with this, go to the posters name and click you should get a drop down menu with several options, one will be the private message.

Did that once. Was called a fat old fart.
