Hi Don,
Below is a copy of your email reply to Mark Wallis in
July when he thought he had been removed from the
group.

Dude, not even slightly.
(Understand that I am strongly opposed to limiting the
expression of
ideas, and two, I'm way too busy to do that. You have
to do something
like make nasty threats to get kicked off this list.)
Yahoo Groups has its quirks as an email list server,
and occasionally
you'll see the effects of that. Yahoo Groups may drop
you after so
many undeliverable messages, for instance.

I don't recall Mike making any threats. I haven't been
a list member for very long and don't even own a tron,
but I have always enjoyed reading Mike's emails and
think it will be very sad if he is removed from the
list which will be a poorer forum for it.
I remember some one ( but not who) saying that one
needed a very thick skin to be on the list. I think
this is true, emails are a very difficult form of
communication and are eaily misinterpreted. I have
been told that words only contain about 40% of the
message the rest is tone and facial expression ( not
sure how they would measure that), I awlays assume
anything that I think was insulting was not meant and
if it was I would ignore it.
I am staring to ramble again, please reconsider
Mark
