Hi Ed: Your post, as always, is a jewell of well pondered thought an equilibrium, but creates some new problems. You mentioned it: where is the threshold? I have read enterely the thread about the issue of the german magazines accused of being a liar and all the rest and althought there are here and there some expresions that can be dimed as maybe somewhat strong, there is nothing so extraordinarely harsh as to do an issue about it. In the dilemma between suffering flames and a cluster of rules stablishing directly or not how many times you can be harsh, I prefer the first thing. I don't care if anybody insult me. I can launch my own broadside. I am adult enough and I have a very hardened skin. I don't need to be protected by anybody and nobody needs it. Problem with rules is that at last they are enforced and the result is or nothing or an increasing lose of interesting people. First it was that german guy, rolf I believe, that was insultant, yes, but interesting to read in some of the topics he wrote about. And then was Chris W, one of the most witty guys that has written here. What's next? Maybe me because my bad joke about my suicide? There are already people talking of that. Ed, we can hold it. We can forgive or understand. All of us know that in the excitment of writting you write many times things you really don't think. And even if somebody is willing to persist in his attacks for many weeks, so what? Nobody is coerced to read nothing. But rules...,well, 1984 is not far ahead. Fernando
