I'm "Jon", not "John" :))) The spelling isn't a terribly important thing to me, but I do like to point it out nonetheless. :) << From personal experience I can tell you that on this list even a mere hint of being anti-Israel or pro-Palestinians (and the above is a lot more than a hint!) is likely to get you attacked, insulted and accused of anti-Semitism. :-( >> It's possible, and for that reason I've stopped using it starting today. (Well, that and the fact that I honestly don't like using sigs.) As for being called an antisemite, my position on Israel, and Jews, by extension, is pretty clear from my previous posts. I'm not thrilled with everything Israel has done, but I'm very strongly against the terrorist acts being perpetrated against them. One curious point. I posted this on Thursday. It's Monday and not one person has accused me on or offlist of being an antisemite. I'm not upset over this by any means, but perhaps Brinnellers aren't as prone to knee-jerk reactions as you might expect? Jon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
