I have only one thing to say on this subject. The Grateful Dead.
First album I bought was Anthem of the sun, I didn't have to buy another album ''til AoxomoxoA and that's how it went for years. If it weren't Grateful Dead, it weren't music. An' that's a fact.
I know exactly where I was when I heard Gerry Garcia was dead, Te Kuiti, who'd a thunk it?. -
"Christ, we've got to look out for the paraplegics too now?"
Its worse than that. He was a Cul de Sac dweller.

I usually quote article 26 in pubs. ;-) -
Inflicting pain, be it physical or mental, on another person in order that they comply to your demands is illegal under article 26 of the Geneva convention, is it not?. Well, if you are a prisoner of war it is, maybe we don't treat our kids as well as that.

I use a nice little program called Sync Toy from Microsoft (yeah, won't work on a Mac) its FREE.
I use it to make a copy of my main hard drive and some of the stuff I have on other drives, to a USB external drive during the night.
Very simple to set up, no problems for the last few years in spite of one major disk failure and a motherboard burnout. -
I knew a zoology post grad who's homework ate his dog.

Can FF find a put-upon "good parent" who isn't a textbook example of a man with anger problems knocking his kids around?
I doubt it. But let's be fair here, bringing up kids is not all Disney fantasy "family" stuff. There are frustrations, demands and downright devilry. We are the grown ups, we shouldn't resort to the same tactics as children, we shouldn't have temper tantrums, sarcasm works wonders but you have to be clever. Something that the Fist brigade can't aspire to.
