>I responded to you in private out of respect to the other members of the UT and as a courtesy to you.

I appreciate that, but I also know that people agree with both you and me on this issue, and should be able to see what you have to say. Not only that, but you don't know me. Don't send me private messages about a public thread.

>At no time have I tried to present one face in public and another in private. I simply feel that this kind of exchange is better done in private becasue there are a lot of folks that just do not want to read it.

I'm sure there are people who aren't reading this anyway.

>As to my attacking several... what was the word you used... "prominiant" members of the UT.... NOT!

No, I think I said respected. But yes, when you address the people engaged in this discussion that agree with me as "freeloaders", that is an attack.

>Perhaps there are things that go one behind the scenece that you don't even have a clue about.

Of course there are, just like you and most other people.

>I am very sorry that I've been unable to express my opinion to you in a way that you could understand. I hope that all the problems with the irc server are resolved to your satisfaction.

I understand your opinion. I am just tired of people ignoring the real issue and attacking me for being frusterated. Yes, my tone has grown harsh. But I expect a greater level of response and understanding from such talented individuals as those who lurk here.

>I'll offer my hand in peace... what about you?

ALways.
