Hello Doc. I agree wholeheartedly with you. There are a few gems in amongst the people that make up Hot Copper (Alpha,who I know personally, was one of them) and I have seen episodes like this motivate many of them to leave at various stages. I have also had extended breaks from HC for the very same reason and can understand people's frustration.
As far as myself having been a help to you, all I can say is "thanks for saying thanks." There are many knowledgeable and helpful people on HC and hopefully if we can get rid of the cr@p that's been around in recent days, finding these helpful posts will stop being akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
