Paul -

I assume this is in reply to Robert's post. This list is by far the
most helpful and civil that I subscribe to, so thanks for the
vigilance.

I had an incident with a then-new list member about 9 months ago,
where that member emailed me privately and insultingly, in a junior
high school way. I haven't interacted with that individual since,
publicly or privately, but he knows who he is. I won't give him up,
but generally those folks eventually do themselves in.

All in all, it's been a real pleasure to ask for stuff and get
comprehensive answers on the list, and contribute what little I can.

Mike
