Hi Peter.

First, let me make clear that - although I 'replied' to you - I did not criticize *you*.

I did not think that you were < s >.

Probably I would have done better reacting to Rick's post directly. Sorry for getting you involved. Hope you accept my apologies.

No problem. I am not offended.

So? Does that incline that I - or anybody else - should never criticize anyone here, especcially those who do not respond?

Personally, I think that criticizing other people is a major waste of time. I would rather argue issues - not personalities < s >.

it diverges from what I really intended: I was/am trying to stimulate Rick to react to at least Walter Meester's post.

Why should it matter to you whether or not Rick responds to Walter? And why are you talking to me about it? Don't you think that it would have been a lot more effective to tell this directly to Rick? Anyway, I can see that he responded to Walter but I do not think that it had anything to do with the exchange between you and me < s >.

I hope you react to this post, and I'll accept even a short clincher like "Let's agree to disagree" or something like that.

OK. Let's agree to disagree.
