Bob, my sincere apologies if you took this the wrong way. Absolutely not intended as an insult, just a light hearted joke. Please don't take it seriously.

we all have the right to be as skeptical or as credulous as we please,
and to make our opinions known, but we don't have the right to make
unprovoked ad hominem remarks. We've just been through an example of
what often happens when people do make such remarks.

I've been on this list for some time now, and I was on it while The
Who was active. I fail to see how you can make such a comparison based
on a couple of skeptical postings about yet another rumour about an
unannounced camera. Since you don't have a sound basis for the comparison
I can only take the comparison with The Who as an unprovoked insult, which
drops you right down to the bottom of my estimation, along with all the
other people who toss personal insults around so freely.

Bob
