    Eric,

You have a lot of good points, I'd say.

But I don't think it is just about sarcasm. Sarcasm that 'spices up' a response is great fun. Sarcasm that is thrown out there with no attempt to answer a question posed is annoying and rude from my perspective.

I mean, shouldn't we be here to talk and discuss? If you get sarcastic blurbs hurled back with no substance then it is tiring and what I consider out of line.

If making a joke, be funny. If the vehicle of humor is sarcasm, go for it. But the goal should be to TRY to communicate, don't just throw noise.

That's my perspective.

Tim
