Having been on Vocalist for a couple of years, I've found that the tone
fluctuates considerably. Sometimes it's a friendly, polite and ever
interesting discussion, where differences of opinion are welcomed as a
learning experience. Sometimes it degenerates into personal attacks, as it
has recently. Personally, I tend to scan my e-mail before reading and delete
posts from people who specialize in this method of communication, because it
serves no useful purpose in my world.
