Re: using the right tool for the job!

[Dennis Jones]

I had trouble with the emails too -- I just deleted them.  So Greg, not a
few people had trouble with the emails -- it's just that only a few
*complained*, perhaps because they were afraid (and justifiably so it seems)
of the back-lash that might come from doing so.

And by the way, this whole argument has gone way beyond tiresome.  And now,
as we've heard for the fourth or fifth time this week, and has been
conveniently ignored by the persons involved (I won't mention any names, but
you know who you are), on behalf of the rest of the list susbscribers,
please keep the arguing private bewteen the persons involved.  Most of us
don't care to see the ranting, raving, and name-calling we've seen here in
the last week, and this list is certainly not the --place for it.  Thank
you -- I hope.
