Sheesh, Don,

I guess I read David's post differently. Being sensitive to your environment
seems like common sense. As a lifelong urban person I certainly didn't take
offense. As for the trolling for response argument, the fact that he has
been lurking for a while indicates some trepedation at posting. That
reluctance is probably shared by many folks who monitor Tweeters. Fear of
flaming probabaly keeps many from participating. I don't think one needs to
be an expert to contribute. The strength of Tweeters is the breadth of
opinion and ideas. We're starting to make Pat Buchanan sound moderate.
