Re: What's the deal with the list

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
