Judy (if you're reading this), can you imagine *anything* that might prompt you to moderate your posts re Barry? There was a couple of days a few days back when both you and Barry pretty much just posted stuff of more or less general interest on a number of topics and it was very refreshing (from my POV). I understand, however, that you feel that he indirectly slammed you in some of the posts and your comments regarding those have brought us back around again to this group discussion re you and he. But, perhaps you would consider commenting on all of Barry's posts in a weekly compendium? It would allow those who do follow your comments re him to have that input and, for that matter, it would allow Barry to, in turn, comment dispositively on your ombudsmanship in a weekly rebuttal. It would certainly be a restriction on unfettered, real-time comments for both of you but it would address most everyone's concerns, yours, Barry's, and the general readership. Just a suggestion.
