>>>Mark: I think those are inflated assumptions
>>>that are NOT real.

>>Alain: Adrian is not a twit, Mark. If he says that
>>he has had such problems, then it is surely true.

>Anthony: I think he was refering to me.

Alain: The person targeted by Mark's comment is not a
twit, irregardless of who was in fact targeted. It
seemed to me like he was putting into question the
credibility of the person, instead of dealing with the
issue(s). Personal attacks are not constructive. As
such, my comment does not just target Mark but
everyone, including myself. I over-reacted though, and
my intervention was less-than-exemplary. I apologize
to everyone, and to Mark in particular.

> Anthony: I said that. Adrian might not be 
> too happy with these mis-attributions.

Alain: Two whammies in the same post. Bad post. Sorry
about the mis-attributions. My reading of that post
was askew in terms of who said what. What threw me was
that Anthony was one of the most vocal critics of NNTP
several months ago, but seems to be its most vocal
proponent this time around. Nothing wrong with that.
It just threw me ... and led to my mis-attributions.

Alain: I am making a sincere effort though to maintain
the historic-context of citations by maintaining those
greater-than symbols, in correct numbers, all the
while attributing as best I can un-identified chunks
to their true originator.
