I Jameson: Are you aware your post (the one that I'm replying to) is only about an individual, and not at all about the topic.
That's something that we don't need at a discussion forum. In the future, don't post unless you're saying something about the topic of EM. You said: If you have to make it personal, please send it personally. [endquote] Nonsense. I was merely suggesting that Robert keep his promise. He, himself, had (repeatedly) introduced the topic regarding whether or not he was going to read my posts. It was his topic, not mine.I didn't introduce that topic. I merely asked him if he could do as he said he would. And, contrary to what you seem to believe, the quality of discussion here _is_ relevant here. You seem to feel a need to belabor the matter, and so I'll answer that Robert tends to post at a decorum and manners level that's far below that of everyone else here. Namecalling, angry noises and expletives don't constitute legitimate argument. When they are used as a substitute for argument, I will mention that it doesn't constiitute an answer to or argument against what I'd said. Sorry if that bothers you. In the Beatles movie, _How I Won The War_, there's a scene in the desert in which the soldiers are lined up for inspection. The officer played by Michael Caine walked right past one who was dressed in a blue-dyed clown-suit, and stopped by the next soldier, and said "You're missing a collar-stay. You're out of uniform!" :-) You continue: This list is for ideas [endquote] Is that why your post is entirely about another list-member, instead of about the topic. Remember the topic? You continued: , not grudge matches, please. That goes for both of you, of course, [endquote] Wrong. See above. You continued: and I'll try to live up to it myself [endquote] Try to do so better than you do in the post that I'm replying to. When your postings are entirely about a list-member, and not at all about EM's topic, that's called being "off-topic". It isn't just that your judgement is silly. It's also that it is entirely off-topic. Let's find out if you can stay on topic. Mike Ossipoff
