Thank You Skip for your post. Frankly, I too find myself drifting away from this site. Too many times, I check in, and see more nasty debate, snarly comments, and just plain rude behavior. Mostly centered around the whole "Speed Limit" issue.
I understand the passion each side has... but... if this debate was being held at a house party the host would rightfully tell both sides to "Take it Outside".
I don't see that anything can be gained by more discussion of the issue. Nothing makes me "click off" any thread faster than the "issue" sneaking back in.
