I believe you may be confusing Sean Evans and Shaun Graham. Shaun Graham wanted
protection from Bob Hyatt making comments on his Computers are GMs posts, as I
recall. I found this somewhat strange, since he was posting in a public forum.
The only attack I recall of Shaun Graham's on r.g.c.c. was a diatribe filled
with vulgarities directed at Dirk some months ago. Shaun Graham posted from
Oklahoma University, and Sean Evans from Ottawa, I think. Sean is the ICD
baiter.
