  Gee Rich, now you see that while this list contains hundreds of 
subscribers, most don't want to post because of the fallout. It's like one 
fellow told me, "I don't post because I don't want to have to defend each 
and every word".
Hey, made sense to ME.........smo-joe

I've posted a few things on the list myself that I thought were innocuous - 
then got slammed, and probably deserved it  ;-)  You can stand your ground - 
or gracefully concede - or just not respond, thinking that the game ain't 
worth the candle (very sensible at times).  With 1000 people-plus reading 
your posts, someone's going to pick you up if you go off half-cock.  That is 
healthy!  What goes unseen is that you often reconcile things off-list - 
I've got some brilliant contacts on the side now that were once people I 
shared rancour with.  You wouldn't think that with a friendly guy like me, 
eh?  With a VERY big  ;-)

Cheers!

Steve
