I can't be with you all the time to calm the beast inside. Sometimes you just have to let things go. E-mails are easy to delete. And you don't have to read everything. Just skip it and move on. The people who post that "tripe" don't see that they are doing anything wrong. Just like the people who drive in the left lane at the same speed as the car to their right, meanwhile they have a line of 20 cars riding their tale. When you tail them or flash your headlights so that they will get the clue to get over they just think you're the jerk. Same thing happens when you post retaliatory things yourself. Just let it go. Mr. Rochester, Sorry about the driving reference, I have been diagnosed with road rage and I just experienced a flashback. Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane.

Mr. Rochester,
Sorry about the driving reference, I have been diagnosed with road rage and I just experienced a flashback.

Oh, right. the 90's) and unsubscribing all in a huff. Of course, I have had to subscribe to a few, and I feel the old wave of annoyance again. Give me blogs, RSS and forums any day.
