Effective dissenters can be wonderful, especially on a list like this, 
where we all agree too much.  ;)

His method was disrespectful IMO.  Its the way usenet is all the time when 
I was out there years ago.  This list is so very different.  I have not 
seen anything even approaching flames on this list until this.  Is it 
because we agree so much that we have all learned to be respectful with 
each other?  But I know I've seen disagreements here before, but I can't 
recall any namecalling...  hmmm...  have we stumbled on some magic 
formula?  (non-chemical, of course!)  lol
