No such policy. Netiquette should be enough. Personal attacks can sometimes be appropriate, as in life, impossible to make sensible rules about it, but behaviour that called for such an attack would clearly be beyond Netiqutte and normal social mores. Taking exception as you did to a bit of sneering wouldn't qualify (especially with such an ironic result). It doesn't make much sense either to refer to an email address for a name, in view of the unfortunate (IMO) Internet custom of using noms-de-plume and in some cases multiple aliases. Whatever-his/her-name-is begins to look like a hit-and-run artist anyway. We'll see. Don't bother yourself too much about it. Best Keith >Walt ------------------------ Yahoo!
