I find these claims very curious, Bob... If you mean them, clearly you
know much much more than I do. Or perhaps your perennial angry outlook
hurts your ability to receive -- and evaluate -- information. I myself
have gotten amazing amounts of good, often priceless information on this
list, much of it NOT available elsewhere, or not by my poor ignorant
fumbling efforts.
And, I believe I can say without undue boasting, I have contributed some
useful information as well, not cross-posted and not "common sense." Not
to mention that common sense can be useless: it doesn't apply in many of
the workings of our processes.
But, if you DO mean those judgements, other than as a stick to beat us
with ... then what in the world are you doing here?
Judy
