same here, colorado newbie. been reading for a while, finally joined. it doesn't seem to be rampant, though,.. it's just 2-3 guys that have no manners . obviously there is going to be a difference of opinion and discussion, there would be no point for a forum otherwise.... but answers to posts do not need to be insulting and annoying, or condescending. also, i have read direct jabs at each other's business practices, agencies, etc. that's just poor taste.
