Nick and I have a difference of opinion, as I said. But we can still
tolerate each other in discussions, or ignore each other. I probably
wouldn't even reply to many of his criticisms, except that the list has
a fairly recent history of NOT tolerating some posters and trying to
forcibly ban them. So I debate the point.

But it is certainly highly related, considering that the first words in
your post were "Erik Reuter" and you quoted a paragraph I wrote.

I believe it. But not everything is an attack on you, believe it or
not.  Maybe, just maybe, I was interested in discussing your idea and
proposing an alternate way of viewing the situation than what your post
presented.

I thought so. That's why I replied.

What ever gave you the idea that it bored me?
