Thanks, Eugene! I think your advice is well taken. I certainly intend to spend more time breathing deeply over the next few days since I don't think I can contribute anything thoughtful or useful to the list given the current tenor of the discussion.

Personal attacks are unlikely to persuade anyone -- even bystanders -- and are just likely to poison the well for future debate. Let’s all take some deep breaths, and refocus ourselves on substantive discussion of the legal issues. Eugene The list custodian
