... I wish I kept more up to date on this set of threads and had stepped in to say something sooner. I'm going to go ahead and say that I agree with Pete that at this juncture the most beneficial course of action would probably be for Wil to back this set of discussions for at least a few days, if necessary even by putting Wil on temporary moderation as bizarre as that sounds. Wil: I'm going to type a private email after I send this to you, and I promise the last thing I desire is to shut you up - you're just currently running through a minefield with no map, and it would be much better if you had a map before continuing. ---- Kevin Gorman
