Occasional skirmishes between people of disparate views is inevitable and
no reason to either unsubscribe or discontinue the list. Personaly, I'd
rather go through 4 flames, bin them, find one gem and use it than to miss
the gem altogether. I appreciate the shared information and experiences of
contributors to the list, and for one, don't mind the added colour of
spirited conversation occasionally. If anyone is offended by a post, I
think the answer is simple - ignore it - and get on with life. I'd like to
think we can all grow through this.

In good faith,
Steve
