Egads, I said nothing about Chemist being valuable. Personally, I find him a big pain in the.... insert PBCable comment there. :-) I just don't think in this instance his temper was particularly out of line. Nor does the person he was posting to (participles be danged...or dangled).
It IS an interesting topic tho - that of offering leniency to certain posters. There are people here who sometimes have given 100's of hours of their times (Chemist, Dinah and Larry come to mind) for free, offering us answers to their questions or admin support. I guess I do think they deserve a little something for their assistance here. I see the problem clearly tho - who would and wouldn't "deserve" such leniency. And I know Bob would not be able to officially sanction such a policy. Although it does seem like there oughta be a way to thank those who give so much to this site.
