Seth - - - you have done such a poor job of snipping the thread I had to think 
about what you presented here to figure out what I said. 


Saying you don't caring for something such as sarcasm or attitude is the 
expression or a feeling.  A flame on the other hand is a personel attack (I 
will get flamed for grammar, spelling and stupidity for using personel 
{personnel}in place of personal).

Since caring is a feeling; are you saying that the usenet is not an 
appropriate place to express feelings? An alt binanary newsgroup might not be 
an appropriate place for feelings but aren't "Singles" newsgroups appropriate 
places to express feelings? 

Seth if you don't agree that a Singles newsgroup is a good place to share 
feelings, why don't you restart the alt.sex.brothel newsgroup? That would be a 
grand place to talk about sex between people without feelings or 
relationships. 

(BTW the old alt.sex.brothel group used to be the hottest thing on usenet. 
Even providers that didn't censor newsgroups wouldn't take carry it. So don't 
think that is a dig either, it wasn't.)

If you thought Katharine was flaming you must feel like a hotdog at a winnie 
roast right now. If any part of this post is a flame it would be my first two 
lines:

"Seth - - - you have done such a poor job of snipping the thread I had to 
think about what you presented here to figure out what I said." 

That could be thought of as a personal attack. It wasn't meant as such. I just 
wanted to point out to you that it was very hard for me to follow who was 
saying what. Since I seemed to be the person you were addressing had a hard 
time following what I said in context I know it will be harder for others to 
follow.

If I had wanted to flame you I might have said something like this:

[Seth You are an idiot!  You did such a shit job of snipping the thread I 
didjn't know who said what. Are you you using your Dad's computer? You write 
like a 10 year old idiot.]

I trust you can see the difference.

Katharine expressed a feeling.

Frodo expressed an opinion on flaming in general and his his feelings 
reguarding Katharine's post.

Seth launched a personal attack at Katharine for expressing her feelings.
