I would like to point out that even if you feel compelled to
respond to a rude comment (usually it is better to be silent),
you still have the choice whether to be more rude or less rude.
Being more rude will almost always escalate the problem.
At this point the evolution of this discussion is still mainly
an improvement on the way things have gone in this list in the
past, and if you just let it die out, you can still on the whole
treat it as a victory of reason over flamage.
Best,
-- Bill
