Right Way: "There is a better forum and you really should look into moving this thread. The other forum can accomodate material such as this, as you will acknowledge once you've given it some thought."

Speak calmly, not from frustration. Frustration only alienates people and makes them loath to follow your advice.

Some people just don't listen when you tell them calmly. ;)

I have moved this thread to Community Business where it is more on-topic.

Thanks.

Through all the growth it was a wonder you could see me. BTW, the marmots are wondering when you're going to weed the place. (Bad hay fever you see.)
