May I say everyone, that this "ruckus" seemingly began with Stephen's gentle correction of my post about Tyson's work in Pittman and Sounder.
I hope I didn't open a can of well-worn worms - and Stephen, please feel free to correct my errors in media history any time.

Sorry Sean. I did not intend to upset anyone with the tone of my email, but in my defence I was provoked on this occasion.
Hopefully the situation will not arise again in the future.

Please remmber the courtesy aspect of the guidance on postings on BASAJISC as many people find lack of courtesy upsetting. Some people have left the group in the past because of what they have regarded as an unacceptable tone.
It is tempting to do replies without thinking about what is actually written so please take some time before you decide whether to reply to everyone or just to the individual.
Thank you.
Sean
