I got it.  Thanks for the clarity.  Once again, very generous, and that is
my point...  We all gotta cut each other some slack, and this exchange
seemed to me so very one-sidedly generous and the other-sidedly
*in*-tolerant.  I want everyone to have their say as you do, of course, and
this IS our only resource and community, and it's a great one, far as I'm
concerned.  I don't know if pb will ever read my post or not, but the
purpose behind it was to support clearing a space for that sort of 
tolerance
necessary to maintain the list in good faith.  Of course, now that I've
reread *my* post, I find it unnecessarily inflammatory as well, (sorry, 
pb).
I remember getting quite a scolding from kim once, but the FIRST thing I 
did
was to find a way not to take it personally...  For someone unable to do
that, maybe unsubscribe *is* the best option, for all of us.  So for me, 
I'm
sorry pb won't be joining us, but it's a big sandbox, and if he can't play
nice, then other ones won't wanna play... MORAL:  don't throw sand,  at 95%
feedback, it gets real messy...  Never lands...  Just hits you in the
face...

I talk too much.
