Ok, I think it's time for me to cry "Uncle," now. Ronn and my gut are
both telling me that to try to continue this analysis--which never even
really got started--is just going to cause pain for everybody, me included.
Life's too short. Let's blab about SF and why Bill Gates is evil instead.

Jeroen, if you're still interested in hearing my opinion about any given
issue, I'll be happy to give it in private.
As for this thing between Jeroen and Zimmy, I think that if it continues
at all, it needs to continue off-list. I don't think there's anything
there of interest to any third parties anymore. Just MHO.
One small thing:

Jeroen, please (in private) point out to me where I blamed you
for *anything.* I told you how I thought your words would be
interpreted--that's all. If the problem is that your words are being
interpreted contrary to your intent and to your detriment; and if you wish
to be told why this is happening; then you must be willing to be told by
another person his opinion of why your words may have a negative effect.
That's all I'm interested in trying to do.
But, if I unwittingly gave offense, then you have my apology.
