I thought maybe private email should not be the only place I would 
converse with you.  I am sure most everyone here knows Hugh is a troll. 
  We all know what to do about trolls, but few ever do it correctly.  As 
much as his comments are mean, spiteful and just plain stupid, he only 
makes them because they result in reactions, regardless of whether they 
are positive or negative.

In other words, to everyone who replied to Hugh, "Don't feed the troll"!
