This is my story and I'm stickin to it.  Whether or not I approach privately will have to do with the nature of the offense, real or imagined , and my view of your receptiveness.  In the past , you have been confused as to the nature of "ad hom,"  making a private complaint a poor expense of energy.

I do not believe that I should be making ad hominem arguments on this list. 
I try very hard not to do so. If you EVER think that I have, please write me 
privately off the list, with the quote, and I will either apologize to the 
list, or perhaps ask you if you might be a little hypersensitive.  Either 
way, it will let me know how to back off from personal address.  I find 
often, however, that when I attack your viewpoint, you take it as a personal 
attack.  You have expressed before that you think it foolish to separate the 
man from what the man says.  I disagree with that because viewpoints often 
change in the face of evidence.

Peace be with you.
David Miller.
