I apologize for stepping into this thread, but we all get the point, so I hope we can move on. With each volley of email, each well meaning thread, or statement of support or disagreement, will eventually deteriorate into the same level of discourse.
I do like the Talking Heads lyric of “say something once, why say it again”. I find it to be a good guide. And with that, I still like the email list and will remain, alert and interested.
