No, but what you are so rude as to do is to engage in extremely nasty
and personal criticism of someone on the net IN PUBLIC.  Where did you
(not) learn netiquette????  Even John Williams didn't receive treatment
this appalling, and he certainly deserved it if anyone did.  If you and
others really feel it necessary to engage in this sort of sophomoric
name calling, please do so in private mail.  Give Jeff a chance to use
his own 'n' key.

If you really think Jeff is dominating the group too much, suggest TO
HIM IN PRIVATE MAIL that he find another sort of support group, perhaps
a private mailing list.  Suggesting he be thrown off the net is absurd.
Who died and left you netGod??
