At the risk of this post being called hate mail, let me ask you this: You
ask for civility and it seems you do not want flame wars. I agree.
Disagreements and comments should be sent privately. But why do some on
this list insist of taking a private mail message and posting it publicly?
This is insane. Some do not want a flame war, and to help eliminate the
possibility of one, it is agreed by many, that some comments and replies
that are not for the list be sent privately.
Then, someone takes that private message, makes it public and the very
thing happens that is not supposed to happen. Do some of you not quite get
the idea here? List Ops, jump in here.
IF IT IS A PRIVATE COMMENT, DON'T POST IT PUBLICLY! Unless, of course you
want others to blast someone publically and save the time.
