Len --

I can understand your desire to support Jess. But, the way in which you do so furthers the kind of ad hominem attacks that shed so much heat and so little light already.

If you feel the need to say this, I think it's better left to a private post. Let Jess and Ed figure out how they can communicate in a respectful way, if they choose to.

Also the person who requested the "twit filter" and who promotes it most. Funny, but if the tone here was respectful and a tad more thorough, a "twit" filter wouldn't be required. And the real twits (of which I number Mr. Rauh as number 1) would summarily be out of here by management decree."
