Charles; I don't know that it was so much about "negativity" as it was about some folks not agreeing with positions being taken by others. Everybody does not agree on the same issues. Those differences of opinon creates dialog and bb posts and high counts on the views meter. Without the occassional differences in opinions, (and squabbles) this would be a very boring bb.

How many times do we have to read that Johnny
Smith's ebay sale ends in "x" amount of days? I personally don't find that very interesting reading .... but I guess those who are concerned with the number of daily bb posts made might be.
