To say that immediately after he apologised to you, is rather
disgraceful of YOU Jerry!

Wrong Jerry. WE (I include myself and others have already included
themselves) should NOT have needed David's hints in the first place.
We should have only ever posted our flames to the o-t list.

So you want a degenerate list? I guess you don't care. That's rather
care-less of you.

My unmentionable is bigger than yours!

And Jerry, do you say this is NOT o-t discussion?

PLEASE do not reply to to d-uuser; my last 6 emails were all to d-ot,
I CC this to d-user ONLY to demonstrate solidarity with and support
for David Guntner and others who are asking (VERY politely for the
most part I might add) that this type of discussion be moved to
offtopic list.

That is reasonable.

That is fair.

That is per policy.

That is per list designations.

Jerry you're not going to win this argument, even if you do keep
trying to be "the last post in the thread".

See above. You won't win this one. And it shouldn't be about winning
anyway, we should be showing respect for the others on the list. Your
words leave a little to be desired in that department.

Jerry, your endless impulse to always respond to everything anyone
says that remotely or not so remotely relates to you, _is_ a waste of
bandwidth. And unfair. And disrespectful in this context etc etc.

Jerry, meet mirror.

My future posts in this regard shall return to being offtopic list only.
