Gregg,
Barnes was clearly being misleading in his second post by implying that
the remarks in the announcement were Mark's rather than his own. I, for
one, think that dishonesty and abuse of power in a forum such as this is
far more detrimental to the participation of everyone who would choose to
do so than is "calling a spade a spade".
