And there's no reason that nobody else should be allowed to offer an opinion on what's being augued in a feud at CCC, if it's here, it's open for discussion, if they don't want other opinions, they can take it to private email. Now _I_ haven't enjoyed these recent arguements either, but I see no reason at all for those arguements being the reason for any discussion about how people should be allowed to behave. Some of the top programmers are cut a little bit more slack as to what is acceptable behavior, well, get used to it! Why should everything be all rolled up into one big politically correct ball of crap? It's part of the dynamics of CCC, nothing else. Pete
