If you insist on reading more than I wrote, and interpreting that my remarks
about what other folks don't do are remarks about what you do, you're
going to be insulted by everything sooner or later. Read carefully, and
don't attribute malice or insult until it's obviously directed at you.
James's remark "You response is hardly even worth of notice," was clearly
directed squarely at me, not at what others don't do, and that makes it a
gratuitous insult in my book.
I've tried to keep my discussion focused on technical issues. If all James
wants to do is hurl abuse, it should be in an alt.something news group.
