I'm thinking that free needles should be on exchange only. Turn one in, get a new one. Turn two in, get a free lunch.  Just ideas worthy of discussion, perhaps not final plans. 

I don't recall you being uncivil in any discussion.  You and I don't disagree on many things but I don't think you are rude or uncivil about it.  Under Disqus, my comments were seen as SPAM about twice per month. When it would happen, I would be unable to post for a few days. Fortunately I haven't had that displeasure on this system, sorry that you have.

P.S. In order to post this, I had to rate your comment that I was replying to.  That seems like a good way to get a comment marked as not civil. Of course your comment is civil and I chose that. In fact, I haven't found more than a couple of uncivil comments ever.
