Hey guys, I had been going through the posts, and found that there had been many occasions where the passion had run overboard and many times some of us have been resorting to abuses and personal attacks. Please self censor a bit and give respect to the fellow IFNians. Our moderators are doing a great job, but don't make their jobs further difficult. Best.
