I agree with you. I'm also usually aware of when I've been a jackass:)

One of my favorite stories about my dad involves a faculty meeting he was running at Urbana University. After making a rather long winded speech to his minions and underlings, his best friend piped up with "Well, Harry, some of us un-pompous asses think a little differently about the matter."

I try to keep that in mind when I make long posts like this:)
