I resent that you're trying to make this a personal thing. I was going to answer the rest of this email, then I realized that the real problem was right here, and discussing anything else was dancing around the issue and wasting time. You can resent it or not, but this _is_ a personal th

I agree with Joshua on this point. It's entirely possible to discuss this without resorting to immaturity. If you make a decent point, then diminish it by cursing or insulting everybody here, you've lost the point and it's effectiveness entirely. Yes, once again, I apologize. At times I se
