I disagree. There are times when I find it appropriate to announce to the rest of a discussion that I find somebody's behavior that bad; for example, to hint a third party (such as an upstream author) that one person's behavior or impatience isn't shared universally. I also find it appropriate to announce when I'm dropping out of a "debate" after my abuse tolerance is exceeded. -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
