<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Interesting. After rereading the post you
reference, I fail to find any indication or suggestion of a course of
action for others, just my opinion of the piece as presented and my perplexity
that anyone would look at it and find it "civil" or a "valuable contribution."
Whether or not I qualify as the rudest person on the V is for others to decide
but I do not recall ever holding myself out as some sort of paragon of decorum
and virtue to be emulated or admired. You must be thinking of someone
else.</FONT></DIV>
