I am just passing along the email request and doing as Mike asks me to do without weighing on the merits of whether it's a good idea for either Mike or the UT.

OK, we see it differently then, that's fine. (At least you can make a point without grabbing a quotations book!) <s>

To me, asking Michel means some kind of tacit approval that it's a good idea. I actually think it's NOT a good idea. He needs to cool off.

I stayed away from the UT from Feb 2009 to June 2009 because I needed to cool off. I had learned the reason for my "ban" in March 2008, and couldn't wait to come back up and confront certain people to see if they would admit what I'd learned. (It wasn't that I was wrong, but it WAS pointless). So I know what I'm talking about when I say Mike needs to cool off for a few months.
