You did. I'll make comment on your post later this weekend.

No, Don is on since the 11th. You are on from Dec 1st, if you forgot.

If I weren't party to this debate, I don't know how I would treat it as
moderator. On the one hand, this topic is interesting and central to this
newsgroup, like the Fritz5/SSDF debate was. On the other hand, I also think that
Bob is going too far with name-calling and innuendo, and in another post he goes
so far as to say that I keep evading by discussing the topic rather do what he
thinks should be done: discussing his innuendo and revealing my secret agenda
(!)

It's quite a bit unfair to me because being a moderator, I assume restraint in
answering that I think that I wouldn't otherwise.

Later, as a reply to your post.
