Dear Steve Bowles,
As someone who is definitely overseas, and somewhat international, can I
ask you a question? If you feel you must flame someone who apologies for his
reply to a question being sometime after others have ceased discussing a
theme, why do you do it publicly? Rather as you obviously feel him in need
of reproach, not address the issue in private. I felt your interjection
smacked of an attempt at muzzling a person who without doubt has
contributed much very readerable and understandable to the field. I don't
feel we need to hear personal attacks, surely the true purpose of this site
is to promote discussion , education and international understanding. What
do others think?
sincerely
John D Corcoran
