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
