And even so, why should people be checking on stuff like this? Are we going to research every contention and accusation made here, and give people "warnings" if they make a mistake? The facts of this whole thing are all located outside of CCC, where no moderator should have to go get them. If I am ever a moderator again, I don't want to have to deal with some random enraged person complaining that some other random enraged person is "personally attacking" him because they are arguing some technical point and the one guy is asserting that the other guy is wrong. The whole thing is blown out of proportion, and Vincent should say what he wants as long has he doesn't turn the group into a crap-fest, like Marcus Kaestner almost did with that Ossi lawsuit thing last year, which I might add, was deemed on-topic by some key members here. If the rest of us don't like what Vincent has to say, we should slam him with arguments, not with moderation. bruce
