Well Brian, something went wrong because you posted the message to the
list! And not once but three times! But your remarks are well-taken
regarding Katharine Thayer's hostility toward Judy. I have on several
instances in the past been on the verge of making a similar comment, but
delayed in the hope that Ms. Thayer would eventually understand that this
behavious was offensive to the members of the list and put an end to it.
Unfortunately the art of civilized discourse, like potty training, comes
harder to some than to others, and our patience to the consequences of the
absence of both is not without limits.
