Good nature is the key, N. <BR/><BR/>The most cruelly-worded, cold-blooded, data -backed denunciation, using every needlesharp descriptive usage in the book (you more than most will recognize that sense of a job well done as 'publish' is pressed), is delivered with so much more ooomph when delivered with good nature, (despite the rage and contempt experienced while concocting the venom-tipped arrows).<BR/><BR/> Poking at them with a specially sharpened Mr Pointy while displaying full good humouryness gets a much higher rage quotient.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35649541.post-49384145919437768662007-08-19T11:25:00.000+01:002007-08-19T11:25:00.000+01:00Flo you should have a soap box and get out ther . ...Flo you should have a soap box and get out ther .
