IMO some of the lack of "finer values", or Vincent's agressive writing style, is sometimes nothing more than a "bad translation" of what he intended to say. After a couple of rounds trying to argue over if you should say "this is somewhat difficult" or "this is impossible" or "this cannot be done", the discussion heats up and we sometiems get to the "fucking idiot" level. Suddenly we are at a level that everyone can understand, but getting there might be the result of not everyone understanding the entire line of argument on the way there. Unfortunate perhaps, but a risk you take in an international forum. Bo Persson bop2@telia.com
