Ed,

>snip snip snippity snip< *g*

> but I think that someone needs to stand up and affirm JVP's got a right to present opinions and interpretations of where FPA is going and state his fears, frustrations and concerns over FPA content and goals from a unique standpoint. FPA can respond, and for that matter, raise their own issues with what's wrong with JVP's presentation of issues, priorities and effectiveness in acting in concert with FPA to address FPA's readership.

Couldn't agree more Ed.

For me, it's not an issue of technical merit, it's an issue of how best to help folks maintain an even keel while they discuss the various technical issues. It's a BIG DEAL to me because, if we do not remember how to keep a level of civility here we all lose, since we're reduced to personal junk.

I'm sure I'm a real pain in the butt to a lot of people here but if we lose the ability to talk with (not at) each other all the technical wisdom is for naught.

I say to JVP to go at it with all his heart. You too, as well. I tend to want to not talk about a lot of stuff, even though I have some 14+ years at using Fox and am pretty qualified simply because for me I don't have the same old laser-like intensity. I'm not without knowledge but I have to admit I feel like a real goof compared to the Mike H's of the world. Too dang smart. *g* But, this isn't about me, it's about us, as a community.



Best,

DD
