Hi Charles!

If you can't see that you have an attitude problem that foments the posting by you of nasty attacks on me, what is the point of me trying to point it out? It only provokes you. But at some point I would like to see Doug start to lean more on people to tone down the personal attacks. He has already posted one request, which you clearly have ignored. As I said to Pradeep, I sometimes step over the line, but then I apologize. What about you?

Let's reduce the level of nastiness on the list.

-Chip
