I'm going to be controversial here and take issue with both of you.
2. Pointing out someone's signature as being off topic is even
further off topic for this list. Please take personal issues into
private email. I bring it up publicly as a reminder of proper list
etiquette for anyone who happens to be reading this thread and to
discourge this from going any further publicly.

As Jochem said "off-topic" cuts both ways.
If Mr Neuhauser wants to continually insult a group of people on this
list, which is not only offensive but certainly off-topic for this
list; and also wants to reprimand a poster for his post as being
off-topic; then I should be able to point out the hypocrisy of his
actions without being reminded of "proper list etiquette."
And while we're on the subject of "proper list etiquette" -- where
have you been? Do you think his post since he joined this list are an
example of "proper list etiquette"?
I find it unfortunate that this list permits such flame bait
signatures -- but, that's not the point here. The point is that if
Mr Neuhauser wants to correct people for their post being off-topic,
then he should follow his own advice and clean up his own post or
face critical peer review.

PS: Be as controversial as you want, this list isn't moderated -- but
I think I know where the majority will draw their line in the sand on
this issue -- for they are good well intended people who don't want
to deliberately hurt others. In other words, they have compassion,
which is apparently absent in Mr Neuhauser and most certainly not
absent in "proper list etiquette".
