   I'd have to concur with your thoughts... being another developer
   that has 'trolled' this list since 1998, but infrequently do I have
   great insight to add...

   Indie has presented valid points to support his opinions, and to me
   those opinions and the supporting comments should be welcomed... his
   repartee to some dissenting opinions has typically been friendly in
   nature, thus I see no reason one should want to shun him on this
   list.

   His concern after being direct mailed anonymously offlist by
   someone presenting info that would make the most sense to be from
   someone privy to this list is warranted... and that type of
   behavior, in my opinion is just wrong, and there's nothing wrong
   with making that opinion well known to the perpetrator of such an
   act.
   

                                         Best Regards,
                                              Jim
