What a shame that there are a couple of people on this great forum that just have to be so nasty in their comments. I am all for constructive criticism but a lot of their comments are very personal and just plain rude! :evil:

Hi,
My Gran says...' If you've nowt good to say, don't say nowt at all'
Another good one...' Be nice to them on the way up, you could meet them on the way back down'.
That's all i'm saying on the matter!

Have to admit I haven't seen any such posts, but I do know from experiences I have had in the past that it is very easy to mis-interpret something written in an email or forum post.
I once sent one of our suppliers an email complaining (fairly mildly in my opinion) about late delivery on an order. Next minute I had him on the 'phone wanting to know how I dare speak to him in such a manner.
Calmed him down and we still work with them, but it taught me to be careful how I word things, especially late at night after a hard day.

This will always be a problem on forums because people can read different meaning into the same sentence.
Unless it is name-calling that is limited on here try to read the comment is a positive not negative light.

Believe me I have been on enough forums to know there are usually problems. I know I am not the only one that has noticed, I guess I am annoyed because its happened on quite a few posts lately and I just dont think that there is any need to be so rude. There is no way it could have been read in a positive way!
