Hi David - since when did God move to NYC? I can appreciate some
of your postings to the list, but have you ever noticed that
whenever an issue comes up (other than Dan Hughes)that gets
people riled up, it seems to emanate from your desk. I am
tired of people using your NEW YORK attitude as the reason
behind some of your responses. I know several people in New
York who are nice folks and don't seem to have a similar
problem. As for the folks that try to explain away these
moments of yours as humor, I fail to see any humor in your
reply to Jim. You're way off base - fess up and lets get
on to better things. IMHO. "Unreliable" "Unworthy". When
the lists decides to appoint someone to reign and render
judgement on people, maybe then you can apply.
Cheers,
Len Drake
