Valdis and all -- While I know the sentiments are heartfelt, one of the limitations of the forum is avoiding bitter rhetoric even when it is in response to same. Please, if you feel you need to criticize a member, best to do it offlist. Also good to complain to me if rules are being violated. In some instances, if you want to respond onlist, please take the high road. It�s the only way return the discussion to substance, not style and not have the bulk of the membership flee in disgust at the ambient flame wars.
