williamrlaughlin, I am more irritated by repeated sniping about "how did this pass review." Certainly we can point out the legitimate issues, as you have done, but your rudeness and negative attitude do tend to get on my nerves.

williamrlaughlin, I think Jonespro does the incessant thank you to try and be encouraging. Seems to be a cheerleader type. He is irritating to me also, but people are who they are.
