Civility and the List

[jeremy@xxxxxxxxx (Jeremy H. Griffith)]

There have been several posts here in the last few days
objecting to Dan Emory's comments about conditions on
the commercial framers list.  Indeed, sarcastic complaints
from *any* source are uncalled for here.  I have asked
Dan to let go of the past, and he has graciously agreed.
I want to offer him my public thanks for that.  So you 
can all turn your kill filters off now.  ;-)

In conclusion, I'd like to note that:
  1.  The *facts* Dan offered were all accurate; the issue
was his "tone", and the point of bringing them up at all.
  2.  Some of the *objections* to his comments were more
nasty and insulting to Dan and the group as a whole than
anything he ever said.  Others were civil and appropriate.
  3.  On *any* list, one will generally do better by not
responding to posts that one doesn't like, and going on
to the ones one does, than by replying with nastiness.

I want to thank those who have maintained their civility
and equanimity during the past week.  Together we will
create a resource here that will be of great benefit to 
all.  You have my warmest appreciation!
