That's a clue. 2. I didn't start the thread. I responded to it. 3. The lack of any real technical detail/discussion is disturbing. Like your response. It's a snide, cowardly attack on someone you've never met, someone you know nothing about. If this is something you'd do in the real world, you'd quickly be a social pariah, if not beaten to within an inch of your life. In no way is your response helpful nor useful in moving the topic forward. If you actually felt I was disrupting the list, you'd had written to me off-line, not on-list. And included a suggestion as to what *would* be appropriate conversationally and acceptable on list. But you want to strut your stuff in front of an adoring crowd and show what a clever little person you are. The fact I've seen no responses about your comment, tells me one of two things: - nobody takes any notice of you, or - this is 'business as usual' for the list and accepted behaviour. ie. the list is dysfunctional. Good luck with whatever you do. --
