interesting remarks.
it seems you've taken some heat lately.
I'm betting part of the reason is something you're
doing, maybe a style of interaction..., i don't know.
whatever the truth of that, i'm very glad to see
you sticking through it: kudos on that point.
i recently had the tho't that one aspect of some
of the flameups that occur on our mailing list is a
lack of patience and kindness, possibly for some good
reason, possibly not. i'm in favor of patience and
kindness.
