Prodig subscribers :o) Whereas I thought I might simply let this topic cool down, Paul Tansley has asked me to squelch it once and for all ... and I suppose I agree it is time.
I'm offering no defence of Paul Tansley's original post which began this episode. However, having returned from a vacation and subscribed again, I was not able to "remind" Paul of guidelines regarding "respect of others" until sometime later and after Paul Bradford decided to take it upon himself to remind Paul T. publically. In defence of Paul T, he has been more than apologetic, and even sympathetic as to the final outcome. The gist of this entire thread has to do with "publically" and "on list". When is it suitable to talk about someone else "publically"? Regardless of it being kudos or vitriol, the Prodig list is not appropriate or intended for this type of exchange. It is personal, hurtful, even ignorant of facts ... not to mention a non-topic for digital imagery and reproduction. Regarding Paul T being any reason Paul B left should be considered speculative, and again not a topic ... but, Paul T has provided me with part of an exchange he had with Paul B (below my sig). Regarding posts of late about Paul B's departure, ... he was not asked specifically to un-subscribe. However, he was not at all sorry about reprimanding Paul T publically, and un-subscribed himself. Please do not reply on-list to this message ... however, do feel free to e-mail me. Feel free also to e-mail either Paul to express your opinion. In fact, always feel free to e-mail anyone direct regarding your feelings, even to invite a return. My own opinion in this matter is about treating everyone with the respect he (she) deserves, and I hope you'll be just as respectful in direct correspondence. ...

I hear from friends who have forwarded mails to me that you're getting some stick over my leaving.
