I agree with you, Harvey. Although I'm subscribed to this list, I only occasionally read this lists mail because there is too much fur flying all the time. I can ask a question or make a comment on the AOS forum and get a civil response. I've been on the forum for a year and the only time things got anywhere near testy was leading up to the AOS elections.
