I repeat and stand by my original message: I have never asked anyoned
(anyone) to go after anyone else here. You (Jim Shupe) cite the Cynthia
message, but that was a request for *support* in what looked like a bad
situation coming; there was NO request for anyone to flame anybody in my
message. You're comparing apples and oranges.

"would you use such language directed at a person in front of a group
of 1st graders?"

Probably not. But the people assembled here aren't first graders.
First graders aren't on the nets. First graders can't read generally. So
why should I limit my language and information and messages to the first
grade level?

Sounds like lowest common denominator programming to me.

I understand your concerns, Jim, but the minute this forum turns into
a medium for free and untrammeled exchanges for everyone EXCEPT me, I'm
outta here.
