That's a fair point, Rob. It is rude, and it is unlike the usual culture here. The only thing I can say is that Mark hasn't shown much interest in dialogue, at least not on-list. As you say, he has to have seen all the posts about him. If he in any way had any desire to take part in the discussions of his carryiing on, you'd think he would have by now.
