Thanks. Please note that I had uninvited abuse directed at me by Roger
and that I did not respond with abuse. Also note that I cut him off
altogether immediately to avoid any such recurrence. The archive
should contain this.

It had been my intention from the start to just sit back, and it still
is. I have no interest in "flame wars" and my immediate response had
been to cut off anyone who personally attacks me. There had been other
provokative posts that I chose not to respond to.
I unsubscribed from that other mailing list when it became apparent
the discourse over there was uncivil, it was purely my initiative and
it was immediate, and I will have no hesitation whatsoever about
unsubscribing from this one or any other if it doesn't turn out to be
a civil place.
Many thanks and regards.
