The thought might cross your mind that *you* have failed to stick to technical issues. The thought might cross your mind that I am sick of how you repeatedly pervert the issues at hand. The thought might cross your mind that your perversions depend heavily on the way that you can misparaphrase and misquote previous articles, and that in a technical thread, perhaps such paraphrases would stick out as personal attacks. The thought might even cross your mind that I am trying to improve the quality of this group. > Since he is always the first > to leave technical content for invective, the request is a hollow one. I resent that statement. I also hope that you will participate in the Technical threads without violating their spirit. ---Dan
