Dear Mitchell Nussbaum, Two individuals on this listserv have attacked me personally and publicly here over my time of membership. I have not seen any other members of this listserve similarly attacked. Possibly that went unnoticed by yourself? Is it open season on this listserv to get off the bicycle topic to engage in personal attacks against people and political views you don't like? My last remark was in response to the second attack.
