Ahhhhhhhh dear DelRey, and then what would those poor souls that seem to have no other life do??? Unfortunately there will always be those that just THRIVE on drama. And then there will be those, that have ever so much FUN laughing at it. It all reminds me of when I used to own an antiques business. We used to do alot of restoration. There was a large antique shop that we used to buy all of our hardware when pieces were missing it. Now, you must realize, that the antiques business is full of many very "unique" people. Most all professing to be experts, know more about any given topic, be more honest than (yeah right) etc etc etc.......and more than happy to expound upon said ideals. (sound familiar?) One incident in particular I shall never forget. I was waiting patiently for the shop owner to finish some business so that I could order some parts and wandering around looking at the merchandise to see if there was anything new and interesting. A rather robust gentleman was standing near a group that was looking at a very nice round clawfoot oak table. He proceeded to announce to all within earshot " I have a table just like that, only IT's MORE ROUND!" I had to make a fast exit to another part of the shop so that my peals of laughter would not insult my friends potential customer. However, on the flip side I do see alot of good come from SOME of the deeper threads and have actually learned more than a few interesting tidbits myself.
