Once upon a time, I used to flame JJ for his style of flamethrowing at the net, so I can accept it easily when he does it to me. On rethinking what I wrote, I intended to apologize to JoSH, because I really don't believe he writes with any malicious intent. Occasionally I read articles that pile on top of others equally (to my mind) outrageous, and something blows. The particular article may not deserve the outburst, and for that I apologize to JoSH. I don't think what I wrote deserves the label "ad-hominem attack". Only the beginning, where I speculated whether JoSH was obtuse, trying to appear obtuse, or just inflammatory. After, reading JoSH's remarkably mild rejoinder, I retract, and substitute misguided. -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt {uw-beaver,qucis,watmath}!utcsri!dciem!mmt
