Nicely put, Doug. I have sometimes wondered if J&J even realize how their mutual loathing has to make almost everyone here uncomfortable. That if this was a real life social situation, the rest of us would all be staring at our shoes or into our drinks, pretending not to notice their acrimony. Guys, your not-so-private little war is likely making the 300 or so other people "in the room" reach for the delete button rather than the read button, and that's a shame. Especially for new subscribers. You two both clearly love this list; can't you manage to find it in yourselves to jsut leave each other be for the sake of it? Or does your animosity simply run so deep that you don't care if many of us are just tired of it? Jim ------------------------------------------------
